Tong Shi Fanwai (4) by 不然520

In the evening, when the fourth four arrived, first placed in the pillow Xia Pavilion, after dinner, will go to the Linyuan Pavilion to chat with me, this time the end is not there, that is, the baby accompanied me to see the four four. Sisi looks a little more mature again, much older than his actual age, alas, a motherless child is like a grass. The baby is particularly low-key in front of Sisi, and he doesn't say a word after seeing a salute, he really doesn't look like a clear woman at all, you say that there is a clear woman who is not deliberately showing off in front of the numbers, singing and fighting and falling into the water or something, anyway, how to attract people's attention and how to come. Not to mention the baby, I asked why Sisi came to Fangshan at this time, and brought the Song family, the Song family is afraid that the body has not been raised, at this time the carriage has no shock absorber, and it is simply a crime to sit so far away.

Sisi smiled bitterly, it turned out that Sisi had never brought a wife to Yunju Temple, and the Song family was using this to earn face. However, Sisi didn't let the Song family know about his relationship with our family, so it was safer, and I just wanted to have a good relationship with Sisi in private.

After chatting about some trivial things, and then I began to tell him some things to get married, this marriage is to marry a big wife, don't worry about the wedding, the main thing is how to deal with the relationship between husband and wife after marriage, or the relationship between the big and small wives, etc., I said a lot, the saliva is dry, I was a little embarrassed to ask Sisi if I think I am wordy, Sisi smiled and shook his head. By the time the baby and I returned to the hospital, it had been a day, and the baby said that she was going to see the flocculents, and I knew that she had let her go just in case.

The next day, Xiao Liu and Wanning came back, and Xiao Liu took Xiaobao to see the doctor, got a secret recipe, and was in a good mood. Wan Ning had a gloomy face, and when I asked her, she could barely cope, so I sent her back to the room, and then I called a girl who went with Wan Ning, Xiao Fluttershy, who was the daughter of Wang Er, to come and ask and know the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that Wan Ning met the Song family yesterday at the place where she lived, and the Song family knew Wan Ning before marrying Sisi, but the relationship between the two was not very good, so Wan Ning said hello to the Song family, and the Song family ignored it, and Wan Ning began to get angry. The next day, Wan Ning saw the Song family doing things again, and Sisi was also beside her, so she wanted to take the opportunity to comfort Si Si and get close to Si Si, but was stopped by the subordinates of Si Si's family, and Si Si didn't see Wan Ning at all.

Wanning's plan didn't succeed, of course she was in a bad mood, anyway, she was leaving tomorrow, and I didn't bother to care about her. As a result, after dinner, Sisi sent someone to say that he would stay for one night, and Song was not in good health and fainted, and the doctor suggested that he should rest for another night before hurrying. I hurriedly called the baby, Wanning is still here, and I must not let her know the news that Sisi is here. In the end, I asked the baby to go to Wanning and drag her down, so that she could not find out that there was anything wrong, so I took my second sister-in-law to greet Sisi.

In the Linyuan Pavilion, I told Sisi about Wanning living here now, and the baby went to accompany her today. As a result, Sisi took out a silk cloth bag for me, I was wondering, and when I opened it, it was Wanning's pair of Lantian jade bracelets. I knew in my heart, when the baby told me about Wanning's practices in the temple, I felt that Wanning had convulsions, thinking that there would be a handsome guy who noticed her generosity and kindness, and then came to break the love that touched the world? Che ~~~~~~ I'm afraid that it won't be a beautiful son, but a prodigal son, maybe it will fall into the hands of a gentleman, saying that it was a token of love given to her by Wanning, and Wanning jumped into Heilongjiang and couldn't wash it away.

Sisi said that when he saw this bracelet in the temple, he felt that although Wanning was kind, this kind of intimate jewelry engraved with the woman's name should not be left outside, so he bought it. I know that he can't say that Wanning's approach is too frivolous for my sake, but it is not appropriate to say tactfully, I hooked the corners of my mouth and picked up the tea: "The second girl is a little ignorant, but I, as an aunt, am not good at disciplining her, after all, she has her own mother, and I can only discipline my own daughter Shu'er, but fortunately, Shu'er has always been sensible." After taking a sip of tea, I smiled faintly again. Sisi smiled clearly, I knew that he could understand what I meant, the third room is the third room, and what other people do can't represent our three rooms.

Early the next morning, Jin's mother urged Wanning to prepare to leave, and in front of everyone, I returned the bracelet to Wanning, and said: "This is the land I asked someone to buy back, and the money paid will be used in the temple to do good deeds, so my niece and daughter can rest assured." It's just that this kind of thing is extraordinary, and it is better not to donate it in the future, if it falls into the hands of the disciples, it will ruin the reputation of the nephew. I deliberately said the last sentence more heavily, and I glanced at Mother Jin, and handed the bracelet to Mother Jin, I saw Wanning's face and sneered secretly.

Finally sent away Wanning's plague god, I breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Ma San'er to tidy up the Pillow Xia Pavilion, and got up and left before dawn in four or four days, and rushed to the temple to pick up the Song family back to Beijing. Since the last time Sisi left a belt here was discovered by Tongying, every time Sisi left, I would ask Ma San'er and his family to go and clean the Pillow Xia Pavilion carefully, in case there was any "evidence" left. It didn't take long for Duanduan to come back, and he went to the main room to invite me to An, and Tongying also came with him, saying what he wanted to paint, and it seemed that Tongying was treating our home as a resort. It's no wonder that the water in Prince Jane's Mansion is deeper than our Earl's Palace, and Tongying naturally doesn't like to stay in her own home. It's just that every time I see Duanduan and Tongying standing together, I feel awkward in my heart, of course, if Duanduan is not my son, maybe I still feel pleasing to the eye, I also know that I think too much, but I just don't consciously think crookedly, it seems that even if I have lived in ancient times for so many years, I still can't change the rotten ah~~~~~~~~~~

I had been taking care of the housework all morning, and when it was almost noon, there was a sudden commotion in the front yard, and I was about to go to see what was going on, when a daughter-in-law ran to say that Wanning had suddenly broken in, and kept going into the garden. I paused for a moment, wasn't Wanning supposed to be on the way back to Beijing, why did she run back again? Breaking into the garden, did she notice something? Probably not, Sisi came very late last night, and he fell asleep not long after he came, and left early in the morning, Wan Ning couldn't touch him, and there were no outsiders near the garden, and everyone in the family knew about it reliably. Forget it, no matter what Wan Ning perceived, she could only see Tongying when she ran now.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw Yuehe and Qiaoyun coming over with a pale face, and Mother Jin called weakly next to her, "Third Mrs." Seeing that my face was not good, I didn't dare to continue. I sneered and said to Wan Ning: "Why did the second girl suddenly run back, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for a girl's family to show up on the road like this, and besides, our home is receiving distinguished guests, and the second girl should also report if she wants to see her, so the little grandfather of the family will think that we have no tutor." Then he said to Mother Jin: "It seems that I am not thinking about it, Mother Jin is old, and her legs and feet are not good, so she can't even do such a trivial thing as taking care of the girl, so I simply send the second sister-in-law to help you, right?" ”

The baby came over and asked why, Yuehe said that he met Wang Gui on the road, and it was Wang Gui who said that the fourth elder brother lived here. I snorted coldly: "Wang Gui? That kid doesn't do things every day, and he steals the master's money to buy wine and drink, I have already driven him away, I didn't expect him to dare to talk nonsense! "But I hate it in my heart, this slave who is not long-eyed, will only do bad things, it seems that I have to think of a way, I heard that Wang Gui's old son was kicked out by the big house not long ago, I hooked the corners of my mouth.

When I turned my head, I heard the baby say: "No matter what Wang Gui said, please remember that the Duke of Tongying Fuguo came to our house to hide from the people outside, for fear that someone would disturb him, and asked my sister to ......" She glanced at the two Yahuan and Mother Jin and others, "and everyone, keep your mouth shut, don't tell others, so as not to disturb our family." "It's beautiful, praise one, so that the focus of the matter will be on Tongying, and then let the second sister-in-law reveal a little bit about Tongying's last time to draw a map, isn't Wang Gui sent to Baoding because of that incident, and the matter of Sisi will be completely covered up.

Wanning is not there, the happiest thing is Floocculent, I smile every day, I don't know what Flooc said to the baby that day, the baby suddenly took a fattening menu to find, she was going to eat fat at the time of the draft, I heard it and thought it was funny, modern girls are thinking about how to lose weight, how can the baby think of gaining weight. In fact, it is difficult to be elected, and it is very easy to lose the election, plus our Tong family also has some face in the palace, as long as the Tong Niangniang in the palace shows her meaning.

—————————I'm a divider that hasn't been seen in a long time—————————

Just a few days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhenzhen came to the capital, to be precise, it was General Wudan who returned to Beijing to report on his work, and the general's family returned to Beijing together. This time General Wu Dan returned to Beijing with a particularly high profile, because they brought three extremely exquisite self-striking bells, which were made by local craftsmen after learning the art of clockmaking from Western craftsmen. After Wu Dan dedicated the production process to Lao Kang, he got a baron, Chongli got a third-class guard of the fifth grade, and a large grange and real estate. Lao Kang also personally gave his family Sun a name, ordered Wu Dan to remain as the general of Guangzhou, and took full charge of the opening of a self-striking bell factory in Guangdong.

In short, Zhenzhen's family is now in the limelight in the capital, as soon as I heard that Zhenzhen is back, I immediately want to go to them to settle the marriage of Duanduan, who knows, Wu Danyin went out of Beijing with the emperor to inspect the river embankment, Chongli as a guard also has to drive, and Wen is sick again, and took Zhenzhen to the new land of Liangxiang Zhuangzi to recuperate.

Two days later, the baby received an invitation from Zhenzhen to go to the Nanyuan Tea House in Liangxiang to get together, and the baby came back and told me that Wen would bring Zhenzhen to Fangshan in two days. When Wen took Zhenzhen to Fangshan Villa as a guest, he was accompanied by Da Liu, who is now the fate of Wupin, and he is dressed like a full lady, but his personality has not changed, and he also made it clear that he dressed up so rich this time to show off in front of his relatives. I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard it, but I liked people like Da Liu's personality very much, so I asked Xiao Liu to take her sister back to her yard, so that they had the opportunity to talk privately, and the baby also took Zhenzhen to her small courtyard to talk, and only Wen and I were left chatting in the house.

After chatting for a while, I brought the topic to the marriage of Duanduan and Zhenzhen, Duanduan is almost 19, Zhenzhen is also 16 years old, and the age of the two children is not young, I directly asked Wen's about their views on the marriage of the two children. Wen's expression was a little wrong when he heard this, and I continued: "With the relationship between our two families, Madame can say anything directly." "Wen told me that because there are a lot of people who want to propose marriage to Zhenzhen now, and they are either rich or expensive, and even the prince is involved, so his family does not dare to marry easily, for fear of offending people.

I think it's a little strange, one, two, three, four, five, one, three, and three have big wives, and four or four are about to marry a big wife, and the princess is also decided, and everyone knows that he is infatuated with Wanning, will the general's family let his daughter do the side room? I raised my questions, and Wen vaguely mentioned the third elder brother and the eldest elder brother, but their family would not let their daughter do a side room, but there were so many people who could not be offended involved, and they really didn't dare to marry at this time. Wen also said that they will drag on the marriage of Chongli and Zhenzhen, and when the limelight has passed, they will talk about family affairs, and the general means that they will not take their children to marry, let us rest assured.

I couldn't say anything more when I heard this, so I could only say that I would talk about it later, and then I talked to Wen about other topics like the business of the teahouse. In the afternoon, Wen left with Jinjin, and I sat alone at the table, frowning, recalling my conversation with Wen. At this time, the baby came in and asked me what was wrong, and I sighed, "Shu'er, your brother's marriage...... I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome. Then I told the baby everything Wen told me about, and the baby fell silent after listening, and finally I only asked the baby to explore Zhenzhen's tone when he met with Zhenzhen.

In the evening, Duanduan rushed back to Fangshan Courtyard, knowing that he missed Zhenzhen, I was very sorry, so I called Duanduan into the room. First asked him what he thinks of Zhenzhen now, Duanduan blushed for a long time and only said that he thinks Zhenzhen is very good, I looked at it and sighed, this son seems to be trapped. I still told him about the conversation with Wen, after all, he is no longer a child, and many things are not something that adults can do for him, if he really loves Zhenzhen, he has to fight for it himself.

I talked a lot to Duanduan, including some of my thoughts, Duanduan was silent for a while, and only said "I know, Eniang", I knew that he needed time to think about it, so I asked him to go back to the room. After that, Duanduan kept telling us something, and he didn't do much, he didn't go to Liangxiang to meet Zhenzhen, he didn't give Zhenzhen a special gift, and he didn't meet Zhenzhen alone...... On the surface, it seemed that nothing had happened, but I knew that Duanduan was very uncomfortable in his heart, because he had shot arrows in the martial arts training ground all night on the night he returned to the courtyard.

I feel very distressed, but I don't know what I can do for him, I can't intervene in this kind of emotional thing at all, I can only rely on myself to slowly experience it. But I can see his intentions from some of Duanduan's practices, he has always adhered to etiquette to Zhenzhen, in order not to let people have the opportunity to gossip about Zhenzhen in the future, he did not pester Zhenzhen is the choice to respect Zhenzhen, and he doesn't want to bind her with his previous affection. I know that Duanduan is really using Zhenzhen, and sighing in my heart, it's really a creation and making people!!

On this day, Duanduan suddenly announced that he was going to Liangxiang, and Tongying also said that he was going to visit his former classmates Chongli, and he went with Duanduan, and even the baby was going to go, I wondered, what kind of secret name is this child doing. It seems that Duanduan is going to work hard for his marriage, or good, it's not bad for boys to take the initiative, I'll wait for their news at home.

In the evening, the two children came back, and the baby prepared tea and dinner for them, I just paid attention to the face of Duan Duan and went back to the room, so that the children could chat alone. Back in the room, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this trip to the good country was still a success. Later, I learned that Tongying persuaded Duanduan to take the initiative, and when he was in Liangxiang, he also helped negotiate, and when I saw that Tongying was really good to Duanduan, I also treated him as a nephew.

Duan Duan took the initiative to come to me and Zhang Bao to discuss, saying that the relationship with Zhenzhen and the two was broken, and it was going to be settled, and now the question was how to prevent the Zhenzhen family from offending those nobles who asked for marriage.

I thought about it, if you don't offend the nobles, it's best to let the one who is more expensive than those nobles, that is, the biggest boss Lao Kang, come forward. Zhang Bao also agreed with this view, and Duanduan said that Zhenzhen and Chongli would come to Fangshan in a few days, and they would discuss a safe method at that time.

A few days later, Chongli brought Zhenzhen to Fangshan, saying that he was coming to visit the baby, and I knew that these children wanted to discuss the matter of Duanduan and Zhenzhen. When they arrived at the Guanlan Pavilion in the garden, he ordered his subordinates not to go to the garden, and to send someone to call the children when the meal was served.

During lunch, I warmly beckoned the Jinjin brothers and sisters to eat more, and I also paid attention to their expressions. Duan Duan and Zhenzhen from time to time to each other's dishes, I smiled with satisfaction, it seems to have become, Chongli has been with a straight face, the baby secretly gave Duan Duan a look, it seems that Chongli is dissatisfied with Duanduan and Zhenzhen so close, Tongying has been laughing at Mimi's food next to him, what is happy, smiling so that his eyes are slit, I don't bother to greet Tongying, anyway, he treats our family as his own home.

After the meal, I went to take a nap, and I asked the baby in private about what they discussed. The baby told me that Tongying heard the news in the capital, although the third elder brother is interested in Zhenzhen, it is impossible for Zhenzhen to do the side room, and he also knows that he can't do anything, and the eldest brother is purely to go against the third elder brother to let out the news, and the general magnates watch the two princes fight, so they don't dare to ask for marriage again. The baby proposed that the general go directly to Lao Kang, saying that their family did not want to cling to the powerful, and just wanted to be Lao Kang's pure minister (anyway, Lao Kang was like this), and he had discussed with Duan Duan in Guangzhou, and left a token to say that he would discuss it in the future.

The baby also told me that the end of the matter of Tong Ying's dedication to the map was also a contribution, and if Tong Ying reported the credit of the end to Lao Kang, it would be even more stable. Sure enough, not long after, Zhenzhen sent a letter, saying that Lao Kang agreed to marry him and Zhenzhen after Duanduan was fully dressed, and I was really relieved, but before the will was issued, the news had to be hidden from people for the time being, so Zhenzhen also went to her grandmother's house to avoid the limelight.

The next days were uneventful, Zhang Bao and I were busy preparing for the autumn harvest, in addition to reading and studying, it was to practice riding and archery and teach two younger brothers, the baby was to go to class, practice talent and help me housekeeping, Suxu's talent has also grown a lot, and his personality is also much more cheerful, our neighbors Li family and Lu family have married, and everything is developing in a good direction. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, our whole family spent time in the garden of the other courtyard, and several children came to a talent show, and everyone was very happy.

A few days after the baby's birthday, my aunt Tatara came to Fangshan to see her daughter, because she was taken care of very well here, and my aunt suddenly became very enthusiastic about me and Zhang Bao, which made us feel very unaccustomed. Zhang Bao has always been not close to this sister, and without saying a word, he said that he was going to take care of the autumn harvest and left, and Duanduan also said that he wanted to learn skills from his father, and he also ran away. It seems that these two fathers and sons don't like this aunt very much, they can find an excuse to run away, I can't run away, I can only laugh with my aunt.

My aunt and I actually have different views on many things, and our temperaments are not very similar, and it is very painful to laugh with her, until the baby and Suss come to greet us after class, and I am a little relieved. But after the lunch break, my aunt came to my room to talk to me, and I lamented in my heart, God, spare me~~~~~~! Fortunately, I brought the topic to the cat, and the aunt really kept talking about the matter, I just listened, and then casually echoed a few words, in fact, I thought viciously in my heart, you said so many words, I don't add tea to you, I will die of thirst for you. It wasn't until about 3 p.m. that the housekeeper reported that there was something for me to deal with, and I got out.

It wasn't until about 3 p.m. that the housekeeper reported that there was something for me to deal with, and I got out.

I asked Niu Xiaosi to send it to Tongying for dinner, and by the way, I told him the news that my aunt was also there, and asked him if he would mind letting his aunt know that he lived in the garden, and Tongying said it was okay. I revealed to my aunt that the little grandfather lived in the back garden, but I also made it clear that the other party didn't like others to disturb me. The aunt seems to be intent on letting her daughter get close to Tongying, but unfortunately Tongying doesn't seem to be interested in Susu, and Susu doesn't have that idea, so Tongying stayed for 2 days and left, and the aunt also took Susu home.

Auntie's departure, our whole family breathed a sigh of relief, even Xiaobao was happy that he would not be rolled by "aunt" anymore, I laughed secretly, it can be seen how unpopular he is with the Tara clan. I told the whole family to "hurry up" for a few days, because in September we will be out of service, and we will have to go back to the Earl's Court in the capital.

Each room has already discussed that on the day of the full service, a banquet will be held to entertain relatives and friends, which can be regarded as a statement of the return of the Earl's Court to the social circle of the capital. Although there have been a lot of private gift-giving in the past two years, after all, I can't participate in the activities on the surface, which is very unfavorable for maintaining contacts with the outside world.

As soon as I returned to the house, I was entrusted with the important task by my sister-in-law and participated in the housekeeping affairs, after all, there is a huge mansion, there are a lot of things, and I have to prepare a big banquet, and the sister-in-law can't be busy alone. There are a lot of things, I can't take care of the embarrassment for a while, and when I have time to think about the previous things, the wives are very tacitly ignoring the unpleasant past, and still affectionate as if nothing had happened, I also sincerely care about the big belly of the second nephew and daughter-in-law, and teach a few pregnant women's experience, a room of wives and grandmothers have talked and laughed, and get along very well.

In the evening, I was already too tired, I rushed for half a day, and I was busy with housework for an afternoon, but fortunately, there was a baby in the affairs of Huaiyuan, and I could rest early. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel very lucky, fortunately my daughter is a sensible baby, not the selfish Wanning, I dare not imagine that if that Wanning was dressed as my daughter, I might be so angry that I stuffed her back into my stomach and gave birth to another one.

The next day was another busy day, and I kept complaining in my heart, why was I born to work hard? I enjoy the housework of my own house, but I feel very uncomfortable with the housework of the Earl's Court. There are two reasons for the displeasure, one is that these subordinates of the Earl's Court are very disobedient, no matter how good the system you formulate, it is not a good thing to implement it in place, I can't wait for a drastic reform, but unfortunately I am not in charge, and I am not in my position, so as not to say that I want to seize power; The second is that I am more and more dissatisfied with my sister-in-law, it's not that I boast, my sister-in-law's housekeeping skills are much worse than mine, the means are not good, the vision is even worse, and it is also very protective, and there is some selfishness like Wanning.

I just rested for a while, but I heard the girl report, saying that my aunt was waiting for me in the main room of Huaiyuan, I was thinking about what kind of demon moth my aunt came out again? It turned out that the aunt was going to hand over a subordinate to us, this subordinate turned out to be a child of the official family, and my father made a mistake and became an official slave, because he was good, he was easy to be bullied, because our three-room family was the most sincere, and the people under us also knew the rules, so I wanted to send him to our three-room to be an errand.

I knew that there was no good thing, I couldn't tell what kind of person this person was, my aunt was afraid that she was going to lead the trouble to our house, so I deduced that Zhang Bao was in charge of this matter.

After lunch, I told Zhang Bao about this, but Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "My sister is still the same, and she says it well, but she actually hides a lot of things." "I hurriedly asked what was going on, it turned out that this official slave was too beautiful, it was just a blue face, to put it bluntly, he looked like a naturally small character, my aunt was afraid that my brother-in-law would also have this thought, so I wanted to stuff people into our house. Zhang Bao thought about it, and was going to see how capable that person was, if he really had the ability, it would be nothing to stay.

I think so, talent is still very important, our family's loyalty is there, it is the shortcomings of the ability. I'm not afraid that the little one will cause any trouble in our family, and the people in the family are all managed by me, although I don't know that everyone can ask about it, but if anyone makes a mistake, the steward on his head will also be implicated, so every steward will look at his subordinates to death. As long as the rules are set, I don't think anyone will dare to do anything.

When I really saw the Gu family's descendants, I immediately sighed, "It's really a natural little sufferer", he looks very much like a modern person who often acts in costume dramas, and I forgot what his name is. However, after Zhang Bao talked to him, he found that he had real talent and learning, and he glanced at me and decided to keep him. gave him a new name called "Quansheng", and then asked him to pick what errands to do, and finally Quansheng chose to be the assistant to the head of Zhuangzi.

It's about to be full, and you don't have to wear plain clothes anymore, so the Earl's Court made a lot of new clothes, and I asked Su Yun to call the baby to get her own, and then looked at the new clothes with Xiao Liu. The color of Xiao Liu's two clothes is a little dull, and the handiwork is not good, I know that those snobbish subordinates in the Earl's Court are lazy. I gave me a royal blue dress for Xiao Liu to wear, which is very similar to the last time Liu came to wear it, and let the two sisters wear a couple's outfit. also told Xiao Liu to put the master's score on display, and not to be so obedient all the time.

The baby came, and her clothes were four autumn cheongsams, one with a light pink bottom and bamboo orchid, one with pink satin embroidered with peach blossoms, one with silver-red gold silk brocade, and one with tender green. The first three pieces are gorgeous and gorgeous styles, which are designed by Wanning, only the last style is relatively simple, elegant, and the baby still likes it.

I smiled: "The second girl doesn't mention anything else, she is really good at dressing up." "It seems that Wanning was a hipster girl in her previous life, and these clothes are very similar to the costumes in the Qing court dramas in the past. The baby frowned and looked at the clothes, I knew that she must think that these clothes usually can't be worn, so let her put the clothes away as a dress, and then wear it when she is festive.

Frangipani put away her clothes and took them to the baby's room, and I called the baby to the side and asked her to dress decently when she was fully dressed, so as not to be out of place with the other sisters, the baby nodded. Then I asked about the baby and Su Su yesterday to Wan Ning's face, it seems that the baby is to understand Wan Ning's capriciousness and don't want to pay attention to her anymore, that's fine, but on the surface you still have to pretend to be sisters and happy, so as not to make people laugh in front of relatives and friends. The baby thought about it, nodded in response, and then went to the bamboo courtyard and thanked Wanning for the new clothes in front of Fang Ning.

In the evening, the eldest sister-in-law invited all the female dependents to Rongqing Hall to discuss the matter, and she proposed that everyone be responsible for the housework, which could be divided and cooperated, and let the children experience experience. In the end, the eldest sister-in-law was in charge of the affairs of the banquet, the outside decoration and the arrangement of the guests, as well as the daily housework of the family; I'll help look into the kitchen, arrange refreshments, dishes and so on; The four siblings are in charge of posting, welcoming guests, and the like. A few juniors, Qingning's wife and Fang Ning are in charge of the servants in the house, Wanning is in charge of the sewing room, and the maids-in-law and the maids are in charge of the clothes and curtains outside, and the baby is in charge of counting the utensils, as long as he watches them take things and return things.

As soon as I heard about this arrangement, my anger suddenly came up, and this banquet was a good opportunity to build relations with foreign countries, and the easiest things to show my face were to welcome guests, eat and drink, and dress and furnish. On the surface, it seems fair to receive one piece each for the big house, the third room and the fourth room, but in the arrangement of the younger generation, the big house takes up almost all the opportunities, and it highlights Wanning intentionally or unintentionally. Relatively speaking, the management of utensils in the baby's territory is the most difficult to shine, and because of every feast, there will always be damage to the utensils or stealing entrainment and other things happen, no matter how good she does, it is just a result of not losing the ground.

I gritted my teeth tightly, and I wanted to go up and flatten Nala so much that she couldn't even recognize her husband! The baby glanced at me, should go on an errand, and added: "The eldest aunt will hand over this important task to me, I will do it with my heart, and I will not live up to the trust of the eldest aunt." Nala froze when he heard this.

When I returned to Huaiyuan, my face changed as soon as I entered the house: "Hmph, how can this be true, I don't have the idea of fighting the power in the house, but when I see that she can't be busy, I will help more, can I do this?" Even the child is scheming?! "Usually there are any difficulties in the big house, we will help the foil, have the money to contribute, and make a strong contribution, I don't ask the big house to repay us anything, but at least we can't step on us at the critical moment." Nala, you have a kind, remember it for the old lady!

The baby saw that I was very angry, and quickly persuaded me, "E-niang don't worry about this." Although I didn't plan to show my face in front of outsiders, I didn't plan to be bullied obediently. ”

The baby began to manage things the next day, citing some of the ways of the storekeeper, and soon found that someone was stealing, and after catching the thief, the baby asked him to pay the money for stealing things in installments, and calculated that the person had to work for more than ten years for free in the Earl's Court and then was thrown out, but the person only gave the place where the things were hidden. After this incident, the people in the Earl's Court no longer dared to underestimate the baby, and in the end, the loss of utensils was less than one-tenth of the old year.

On the day of the full service, the whole house got up early in the morning to prepare for today's big event.

The baby is still dressed up more elegantly, wearing the pink cheongsam embroidered with orchid grass and a beige vest. Yuan Ning changed her previous gorgeous outfit today, and she had a hairpin ring hairpin on her head, which was simple and precious, and she was wearing a flower pot at her feet, which made her particularly graceful and dignified, and her demeanor was elegant. Speaking softly, with a sweet smile but very reserved, she showed a full image of everyone's ladies, and as soon as she appeared in front of everyone, she was well received. Until the bright and touching Wan Ning appeared, she was the focus of attention in the banquet hall. And Wanning was dressed up in a gorgeous crown, elegant manners during the banquet, thoughtful manners, and playful speech, which won unanimous praise from the female guests.

I know that the baby is still determined to continue to keep a low profile, although I really want to see the baby in the limelight, and then I think that there will be nothing good in the limelight, so forget it.

When the time was almost up, I ordered the feast to begin, and I saw a group of girls dressed in neat green silk rushing in and placing plates of delicacies on the tables. These girls all wore chic hairstyles, their faces were carefully rubbed with fat powder, and they were all packaged as beauties. All kinds of delicacies from the north and south feasted everyone's mouth, and I was a little proud when I heard the praise.

It's just that there is always an accident, there is a girl whose hand trembled when she made soup, and spilled a few drops of soup on Yuan Ning's clothes, and the girl on the soup ground was so frightened that she kept trembling, but fortunately, Yuan Ning didn't say anything about her image and let her go down. As a result, when the fruit plate was finally removed, the girl who had sprinkled the soup made a mistake again, this time breaking the glass carved saucer containing the fruit, breaking it into several large pieces, and scattering the fruit all over the ground. The girl immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, crying incessantly, the fat powder was all pasted, and her hair was messy. Seeing that no one was cooking, the baby immediately got up and walked to the girl, and whispered, "Why did you break things so carelessly?" Don't hurry up and get the pieces out. Then he looked up and said to the daughter-in-law outside the door, "Hurry up and clean up the ground, and don't let the guests laugh." ”

The scene finally came back, and Nala asked Qingning's daughter-in-law, Fang Ning and the baby to salute around, and the female guests said that it didn't matter, and they returned to the table. The baby's wit is in the limelight, I am very proud, or our baby is the most capable, Wanning is like the level of kindergarten compared to her.

Early the next morning, Zhang Bao and I took Duanduan and the baby back to my mother's house, after the service should go to the old man to ask for a peace, in addition to asking for peace, there are still some things to tell the old man. The situation of my mother's family is that Ama never cares about family affairs, has a serious personality, and prefers to be majestic in front of juniors, and the way to put on a prestige is to lecture, the content theme is uncertain, and I will go back to the study after a tea time. The person in charge of the family is my mother-in-law, she is also the same in the Tong Mansion, although she is also kind and pleasant-looking, but I am still a little afraid of her.

This time, I mainly reported to the old lady about the end of the career and engagement, and the matter of letting the baby lose the draft. The old lady was not very happy, because she wanted to use her grandson to marry and let her granddaughter climb to the royal family, and I was very unimpressed. Anyway, the marriage at the end of the end is Lao Kang's finger, and the old lady is not satisfied, as for the baby, the chance of being selected is not great, and it is not difficult for the baby to deliberately lose the election. After talking for a while, the old lady asked me and Zhang Bao to take Duanduan to see my second uncle Tong Guowei. The baby was a little nervous to deal with the old lady alone, and I gave her a soothing color.

The second uncle left our family for lunch, I think the baby will eat with the old lady, she may not be used to eating, because my mother's food is too unpalatable!! As soon as we got back, I saw the baby's expression as if he had seen a savior, and I barely couldn't help but pounce. It seemed that the old lady was very satisfied with the baby, and under the pretext that she wanted to give me something, let me help her into the room.

The old lady talked to me for about an hour, mainly about the baby's draft. With Concubine Tong Niangniang, there will be no more Niangniang in the Tong family, the older princes have all been booked, and the younger ones are more compatible with the granddaughters of the Tong family. It's just that the old lady said that the baby is good at everything, but the rules are looser, and she wants to find someone to teach the baby's rules, after all, she is the granddaughter of the Tong family, and she can't ignore the palace etiquette, and the rules still have to be learned.

The baby is very disgusted with inviting me to teach the rules, I don't know how Wanning's scared her, or how scared she was by the Rong in the pearl, I comforted her, I will find a kind person to teach her.

Zhang Bao also plans to recover after being fully served, so he wants to go and meet Chen Liangben to see where there is a suitable gap. Of course, I have to bring a gift when I go to ask someone, Zhang Bao plans to send a set of four treasures of the study, I think it's too thin, will someone like Chen Stallion look at it? Zhang Bao said: "Lord Chen has never accepted heavy gifts, and I am afraid that he will not accept them." "It's hard for me to believe that Chen Stallion doesn't take bribes, and his character is not good. In the end, the baby made a compromise suggestion to send the four treasures of the study, but it is not an ordinary kind, to antiques, so that people with vision can see the value, and will not be said to be a bribe.

In the end, Zhang Bao chose a purple inkstone with a history of more than 100 years of carved bamboo as a gift and went to meet Chen Stallion. Unexpectedly, Zhang Bao was angry when he arrived at Chen Stallion, first Chen Stallion's duty to Zhang Bao, saying that Zhang Bao was not implicated when he was impeached and did not come out to help speak, and Chen Stallion's friend and former daimyo prefect said that Zhang Bao used a false confession to harm his son, and then it was about Quansheng, because Quansheng's father was one of the corrupt officials who was defeated by Chen Stallion, saying that Zhang Bao took in Quansheng to be unfavorable to him. Zhang Bao couldn't say anything when he was angry, but the second lady of the rich businessman and the second lady of Chen Stallion handed him back the gift he sent to the land at this time, saying that he "used this old thing that no one wants as a gift, but he doesn't take my husband in his eyes."

Zhang Bao has been sulking since he came back, and I'm not angry, has this Chen stallion become brainless? There is no distinction between right and wrong, and his second wife is also an idiot who doesn't know the goods. The baby came back and persuaded Zhang Bao a few words, suggesting that Zhang Bao go to Yuheng and ask him to explain this matter to Chen Stallion clearly, at least he couldn't be wronged in vain.

Chen Stallion knew that he had wronged Zhang Bao, so he wrote a letter to Zhang Bao, with an apology, saying that he knew the truth, everything was a misunderstanding, and he would try his best to help him find a shortage of Jinan prefect. Zhang Bao has always been a good-natured person, and after receiving the letter and apology, his anger also disappeared. It's just that there is always a pimple in my heart, and I am no longer so friendly and trusting to Chen Stallion, so I took the opportunity to persuade him not to have too much contact with Chen Stallion, and Chen Stallion has a bad reputation outside. The baby also followed the persuasion, said a lot of reasoning, but Zhang Bao still felt that he didn't want to go, I sighed, Zhang Bao's heart is too soft, under the repeated persuasion of me and the baby, Zhang Bao finally nodded not to Chen Stallion again.

Later, Zhang Bao received a letter from Chen Stallion saying that he had set the shortage of the prefect of Jinan, and he was very happy, but it turned out that the will of the imperial court came down, but it was another official who got this position, and this official was not only the nephew of an official who had followed Chen Stallion the longest, but also just accepted the niece of Chen Stallion's rich daughter as a concubine. Zhang Bao was very angry, and the baby once again persuaded Zhang Bao to take this opportunity to distance himself from Chen Stallion, but Zhang Bao still hesitated, saying that he was afraid of being regarded as a villain who tended to be inflammatory. The baby continued to persuade, or Duanduan's words completely dispelled Zhang Bao's doubts, Duanduan said that several adults on Chen Stallion's side were no different from forming a party, Zhang Bao knew that Lao Kang hated the party, and immediately decided to alienate Chen Stallion, lest others think that he was also a party.

————————————I am the dividing line of happy events————————————

Soon after, Sisi finally got married, and I, Zhang Bao, and Duan Duan were all invited, but they were just ordinary guests, staying with the Tong family people, and the gifts were ordinary items. It's just that in private, I carefully prepared a gift, including a few winter coats I made myself, a gray squirrel fur gown, and two women's sleeved cloaks with fur piping to send to Pumpkin Alley.

After a few more days, the results of the inspection of the officials and the letter of appointment came down, and Duanning officially became an eight-grade military department pen paste, full-time translation, drafting, copying and other paperwork. Duan Duan is considered to be a leader, but I am a little worried, this is the same job as a clerk, the official position is too low, and it is only eight grades! However, both Duanduan and Zhang Bao said that this position is easy to promote, and it is a good opportunity to learn things, and the baby mentioned that Duanduan has a foundation for doing this job, because he once helped Tongying sort out the information in the northwest.

In addition, Mrs. Wen wrote that Zhenzhen would return to Beijing in a few days, and it seemed that Duanduan's marriage was near, so I began to prepare for Duanning's marriage. I took the baby to check the account books carefully, and prepared to temporarily use 3,000 taels as the cost of the happy event, and keep another 2,000 taels for backup. Nala has offended our three rooms several times because of Wanning's affairs, and now he needs to show us goodwill, so he readily agreed, and also proposed to renovate the yard by the public money, of course I am willing, the money in the public is not in vain, and the money saved can also be used for more dowry.

In late October, the palace finally handed down a decree to marry the daughter of the Guangzhou general Wu Dan to the grandson of the late first-class Weiyuan Boharqi, the son of Zhang Bao, the commander of the light car, and the pen paste Duanning. Two days later, the Ministry of Officials issued an official document, the former prefect of Guangzhou, Zhang Bao, humble and filial, loyal to his duties, outstanding performance during his tenure, and the merit of persuading farmers to pacify, moved to the direct subordinate to participate in politics.

Duanduan's marriage is already in our family's heart, Zhang Bao was appointed as the official from the third grade, but it was really an unexpected joy, I heard that it was still the will of the above, and I heard Duanduan say that covering Tongying last year was probably counted in the "Pacification Achievement". I think Zhang Bao not only performed well in his tenure, did not form factions, and was humble and filial, which should have pleased Lao Kang.

Participating in politics, he is the deputy envoy of the political envoy, and he is in charge of Qian Valley, which happens to be what Zhang Bao is good at. It's just that there is no oil and water in this position, and there is not much real power, but our family doesn't care about these anyway, and it is in Baoding, which is very close to the capital, which is the most suitable for us. Next year, the baby will be drafted, even if I go to Baoding with me, I can often come back to take care of the baby, or take the baby to Baoding is no problem.

Zhenzhen was accused of being Duanduan, which surprised many people in the Earl's Court, because Zhenzhen was too showy some time ago, so the people in the big house will inevitably be jealous, I think Nala must be very sour in her heart, she is the kind of person who can't see others better than her. Ever since the Manfu Banquet, I have despised the Nala clan to the extreme, and I just pretended to have nothing to do on the surface, after all, it is impossible for us to fall out with the Nala clan, and it is impossible for us to do her any more favors.

Nala as the head of the house, or have the bearing of the housemother, she sent Qingning daughter-in-law (parents, in-laws, husband, children of the Quanfu grandmother) as a representative to the general's mansion to send a family gift, I also politely said that I am going to send a box of jewelry to Fang Ning makeup, several nieces I have the best impression is to hurt Fang Ning, I am happy to give her jewelry and makeup, anyway, it will not be cheap Nala Shi.

Next, we were really busy, and I had to prepare the dowry at the end of the day, and pack the luggage of Zhang Bao to go to work, and I had to receive the guests who came to congratulate him, and deal with all kinds of relatives. Busy and busy, but I'm busy and happy, this is all a happy event, plus the baby can also help a little, and the second sister-in-law Suyun gave me a hand, and it didn't take long for things to be straightened out.

Originally, I planned to hire as soon as possible after the decision, but the general's mansion felt that it was too hasty, and I wanted to choose another auspicious day, and I also knew this truth, but I was in a hurry that Zhang Bao would not take office for too long. Zhang Bao is not in a hurry, he said that someone in the ministry has already greeted him, even if it is a month late, it is no problem, I am very strange, how can Zhang Bao have such a big face. After listening to Zhang Bao's explanation, I realized that the main reason was that Zhang Bao and Chen Stallion had drawn a clear line, so naturally it was not a thorn in the side of some people, plus the official promotion was two levels, and his son got married again, so the people in the ministry gave some face.

I chatted with Zhang Bao about the gossip of Chen Stallion again, for the disputes in the court, Zhang Bao can be regarded as open, don't care too much, as long as you do your duty well, you will live with your wife and children, and nothing else has to do with it, I nodded with a smile.

After a while, the General's Mansion, represented by Mrs. Wen, brought the Chongli Upper Earl's Mansion to discuss the time and arrangements for the appointment and wedding. Mrs. Wen asked Duanduan and the baby to take Chongli outside to chat, and I was left to discuss with her in the room. First, the time for the employment was discussed, and there was an auspicious day in two days, so it was decided to hire the day after tomorrow. As for the wedding date, because the general was going to return to Guangzhou after the New Year, he wanted to get married during the annual leave, and finally set it on the 14th day of the first month before the Shangyuan Festival.

After chatting about the details of the wedding and other trivial matters, Mrs. Wen asked if our family had any plans for next year's baby draft, and I smiled and said: "What can I do, next year there are three girls in our Earl's Court to run, and it is impossible to be selected, it is likely that our Shu'er will lose, anyway, we don't expect Shu'er to be selected." Mrs. Wen was overjoyed when she heard this, and I was wondering, so I heard Mrs. Wen ask: "If the lady loses the draft next year, can you marry the lady to our family Chongli?" After a while, Mrs. Wen continued: "Our general likes you ladies very much, and thinks she is smart and virtuous, and she is a good match, so let me ask." ”

I can't make any decisions about this, so I just said: "There is no draft yet, and our family doesn't dare to make any promises, for fear that there will be changes in the future, so let's talk about it after next year's draft." Mrs. Wen nodded yes. After another conversation, Mrs. Wen offered to go back, sent the guests away, and I sent the baby to do housework, and went back to the room alone to think about what had just happened.

Although the baby is still young, she has to think about her marriage, after all, in ancient times, it was normal for fourteen or five-year-old girls to talk about marriage. I don't know what the baby thinks about her marriage, maybe she didn't think about it at all, didn't I never think about it when I was her age? With the baby's family background, most of them will marry into a big family in the future, but the interpersonal relationship in the big family is so complicated, if it is difficult between the mother-in-law and sister-in-law, how can the baby stand it in the future.

The baby has always been favored in our third room, and has not really suffered anything, I must find her a family with a simple and easy to get along with, so it seems that the conditions of Chongli are quite suitable. General Wu Dan wants to stay in Guangzhou, Mrs. Wen is only the second room, not a serious mother-in-law, and she has to go to Guangzhou with her, Chongsi and his wife are also in Guangzhou, the in-laws and sisters-in-law are not there, and the baby is the housemother as soon as he marries, plus Zhenzhen is in our house, no one in the Chongli family dares to give the baby a little anger.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Bao came in and asked me how I discussed, I told him about Duanduan's wedding arrangement, and then I hesitated for a while before telling Zhang Bao about the general's family wanting to marry the baby. Zhang Bao's first reaction was to change relatives, and then he didn't understand it very much, because changing relatives is a move that can only be done by ordinary people, or it is a particularly close family. Zhang Bao looks very dissatisfied, he thinks that Chongli is too one-sided, sour and rotten, and is not worthy of our baby. Seeing Zhang Bao like this, I don't know whether to tell him what I just thought, but I still have to let him know about this matter, so I told him my analysis.

Although Zhang Bao also thinks what I said is reasonable, he still thinks it is inappropriate, Chongli's temperament is really not suitable for our baby, and the baby's marriage is still the baby's own will. I reacted at once, yes, the baby is not an ordinary ancient girl, her own marriage must be her own decision, I didn't expect Zhang Bao to be so open-minded, he has always been very fond of the baby, even the marriage will respect the baby's opinion, what a good father. Zhang Bao and I have reached a consensus that the baby's marriage will wait for the draft to come later, and now we just need to prepare the end of the marriage.

The next day, when I was counting the dowry, Nala came to me and said that I wanted to thank me for the gold jewelry I gave to Fang Ning, and then I began to pull around, and as soon as I saw this posture, I knew that it must be nothing good, and I kept quiet to see what she had to say. Sure enough, when I showed that I was going to be busy, Nala couldn't sit still, and inquired about Chongli's age, knowledge, conduct, and hobbies, and also asked if he had a marriage or a favorite girl, and whether the emperor had any plans to marry him, etc. I only made a brief introduction, and I deduced that I didn't see much on weekdays, and I didn't know much about it, so if my sister-in-law was interested, let him come to see Yunyun in person next time. Nala laughed and said that it was just small talk, but listening to her tone, it seemed that she really had such a plan.

Now I understand, the Nala clan is Chongli in the phase, but Chongli is afraid that he can't look down on Wanning, with Chongli's Taoism, everything about Wanning is unruly in his eyes, if Wanning really marries Chongli, the two of them PK will be fun. I thought badly, but I thought about it when I thought of the Chongli family to discuss marriage to us, what did the Nala clan do when he interjected, I am a typical kind of things I don't want and I don't want to cheapen others, I told Zhang Bao about this, and Zhang Bao laughed at me.

I prepared thirty-two dowry gifts, plus wine and pairs of pigs, the quality is good, but the boxes are more usual, so that it is decent enough and does not show its wealth, presumably the military government will be very satisfied. After the hiring, the Zhenzhen family will also start to prepare the dowry and furniture, and the yard we prepared for Duanduan is almost finished. It is more cost-effective to marry a daughter-in-law than a daughter in ancient times, after all, everything in the house is ready-made, which is different from modern times, the house price is so high, and it costs a lot of money to get married.

Zhang Bao is ready to go to Baoding to take office, and when the New Year comes, just come back for the wedding, I am ready to take the baby and Xiao Xianning with me, Duanduan will stay in the Earl's Palace, and Xiao Liu will take Xiaobao to guard Fangshan. Just when the luggage and everything were almost ready, I was about to leave the next day, and something happened the night before.

Someone came to the palace, to be precise, the Queen Mother sent an aunt to the Earl's Palace. This thing was too sudden, so that I and the baby were caught off guard, we hung our hearts in the flower hall to meet the Aunt Ming, only Wan Ning in the flower hall, it seems that Aunt Ming is mainly to see Wan Ning, we are considered to be a guest. Aunt Ming and I casually chatted about Duanduan's marriage and other topics, and suddenly found an excuse to support me and want to leave the baby for questioning.

When I saw Nala, I immediately asked her what was going on, what did the Queen Mother mean by sending an aunt at this time? Nala saw that my face was a little unkind, and said hesitantly: "I don't know what's going on, Aunt Ming called me here without saying a word to me after she came, leaving Wanning to speak alone." "I've been worried, how could the Queen Mother send someone to see the baby, our baby shouldn't have attracted the attention of the above?

About an hour later, Nala and I were invited back, and Aunt Ming was leaving, but she said something before she left that made me feel stunned: "The two Gege in the house are rare good girls, and next year's draft will definitely have a great creation, and please use more snacks for the ladies." "Baby and Wanning sent Aunt Ming to go, I sat in the flower hall, I couldn't hide the shock, what the hell is going on, we have made up our minds to let the baby lose, the baby's future must be in our own hands, and we can't let anyone else at will.

As soon as the baby and Wanning came in, I immediately pulled the baby and asked Aunt Ming what she told her, and the baby explained that the aunt asked her to invite a grandmother to teach the rules. I came up as soon as I heard the fire, looked at Nala fiercely, and said coldly: "Sister-in-law, what is going on?!" Please let me know! How could the people in the palace come to the house if they are so good? Still saying such things to our Shu'er?! "Nala can't say why, but the baby guessed that there are some clues, Nala and Wanning plan to report that they will not participate in the draft, which is inconsistent with the law, plus Nala is looking for a suitable person in a high-profile manner, which has attracted the attention of the Queen Mother, so I will warn you.

I thought about it right, Nala's approach during this time is too eye-catching, even if he plans to report his age, he is still waiting to be selected before he is approved, no wonder it will attract attention. When I think of this, I can't get angry, what does this have to do with our baby jia, just because it's a girl in the house, is it going to be implicated?

Just when I was about to go crazy, that Furong came over and said that this matter was made by Wuwu, because Wuwu has always been infatuated with Wanning, even if he married Fang Fujin, probably because he heard the rumor that Wanning planned not to run, so he asked the Queen Mother to intervene in this matter. I was angry, no matter whether the truth of the matter was like this or not, in the final analysis, it was caused by Wanning, and my baby was implicated at all, I sneered and said, "That's it, let's go." It's just that there is a sentence, I want to make it clear to my sister-in-law first, you and I are mothers. I will also plan for my daughter. I had already said hello to my mother, and when Shu'er was drafted, she would be eliminated in the first two rounds. Ama and I even had a good eye on a few good families. It's a pity that all this is in vain now! If the second niece has a good marriage, our family will also be happy for her. It's just that I also ask my sister-in-law and second niece to be careful. Don't get involved with irrelevant people for no reason! After that, he didn't look at the faces of Nala and the others, and left with the baby.

Back in the room, I'm still so angry that I can't speak, I haven't settled the account with the Nala clan last time, and I'm coming again this time? The big house is really not enough, there are more than failures, like a declining god, who is next to whom is unlucky, why is our family so miserable, and there are such relatives. I really want to fall out with Nala, it's a hundred, it's really a tiger, it's really HolleKetty!!

I called Zhang Bao and Duanduan to the main room to discuss what to do next. After I told me about it, everyone fell silent, and it seemed that it was so sudden that they were not mentally prepared. Or is it the baby who is the first to open his mouth and ask us what to do? I've always thought it's strange, Wuyi has never stood out, even if he has always been interested in Wanning, but the palace doesn't agree, why did the palace suddenly change his mind again. Duanduan knew the reason, because he had performed well in the army recently, he was promoted, he was sealed, and he was heavy in front of Lao Kang, so the Queen Mother was ready to fulfill the intention of Wuwu as soon as she was happy.

Sure enough, it was Wanning, who killed a thousand knives, if it weren't for her delusional belief that she was the heroine of the Qing Piercing novel, making trouble between a few numbers, how could it be like this now. There is no other way now, because Concubine Tong is in the palace, if Wanning is matched with five or five, then the baby will not be accepted by Lao Kang or with the prince, maybe there is still a chance to lose, I comfort the baby, don't panic yourself, go to see the old man and the old lady of the Tong family tomorrow, and ask them what they think.

The next morning, I was ready to go back to my parents' house, but the baby was sick, it seems that yesterday's incident hit her very hard, I asked someone to take good care of the baby, and went back to her parents' house alone.

As a result, I thought it would be better not to go back and ask about it, but it was not what we wanted. Because the old lady said that the palace secretly sent people to the nobles' houses to see the show girls who should be selected before the draft, which usually meant to choose the prince Fujin, and now the prince who has not got married has a seventh elder brother in addition to Wuwu. It took me a long time to react to who the seventh elder brother is, no way, except for the 9 numbers that won the heir, I don't know the other numbers very well, Wuwu is still because Wanning only knows, this Qiqi is the most inconspicuous of the princes because he is lame, and his biological mother is low.

The baby was very surprised to hear the news, after all, it is impossible for two sisters to marry two princes at the same time to be the main room, and what happened when they suddenly came out again. I sighed, very reluctant to tell the baby this bad news, the old lady knew that the palace sent someone to see, and Wanning's temperament is not suitable for the prince's main room, then this finger marriage may fall on the baby's head, either marry five or five or marry seven seven, because the identity of Qiqi's mother is not high, as long as Concubine Tong speaks, then the baby is very likely to marry Qiqi.

I saw that the baby's eyes were red when I was anxious, and I was very distressed. I thought that the old lady of my mother's family could help, but it turned out to be a disadvantage, and I knew that I would not go to them. I choked up and said, "Good lady." I knew that there was such a thing, I would rather you marry the fourth elder brother, at least he would have remembered our affection. Take care of you. If you are really pointed out to the Seventh Brother, he is a cripple. There is no prospect, and it is inevitable that you will have three wives and four concubines in the future, how can you stand it? I also added in my heart, I will be the emperor after four or four, which is much better than five, five, seven, seven.

The baby was silent for a long time before asking me: "E-niang, my grandmother wants me to marry into the royal family, is it for the sake of dignity, or does she want to get some real benefits?" "Why do you ask?" The baby explained that if you want to get benefits, there is no need to marry the prince, if Wuwu can't marry Wanning because of this, he will be angry with the Tong family and won't get benefits, and Qiqi itself has no future and no background, and he can't get benefits, of course, if the Tong family just wants to be decent, I won't say it, but I believe that the Tong family won't just want to be decent. It's better to lose the election, and then find a good family, if the other party's family background is good, it will be more beneficial to his Tala family and the Tong family. I wondered, how could the baby have such an idea, "Shu'er, you Ama and I have never had this idea, just ask your future husband to treat you well." "Of course my daughter does." The baby smiled, "It's just that I told my grandmother so that she wouldn't interfere in the draft." ”

I reacted, yes, yes, just tell the old lady like this, why didn't I think at first, or the baby's head turned fast. I'm going to meet my mother's house again tomorrow, but the baby stopped me, she is considering that Zhang Bao is going to Baoding tomorrow, I should also go, what a filial child, when I think of my parents, my daughter is really my mother's personal little padded jacket!! But I don't worry about leaving the baby alone in the capital, the baby suggested that I go to Baoding first, and then come back after arranging things over there, anyway, it's only a month, nothing big will happen, plus the end is still there, I thought twice before nodding and agreeing.

Unfortunately, fortunately, I heard the news from the Nala clan that after Aunt Ming left the Earl's Mansion that day, she also went to the second room house to see Yuan Ning, so it seems that the baby was indeed just stopping by to see it. With this news, our whole family breathed a sigh of relief, and if I write to the old lady of the Tong family to explain it clearly, there should be no major problems.

I was writing a letter, the baby came to the main room, she was still sick, I quickly pulled her on the kang, Zhang Bao also asked someone to burn the brazier more vigorously, and handed Zhang Bo quilt over. Duan Duan took a cup of hot tea for the baby to hold and warm his hands, and even Xiao Xianning took the snacks hidden in his sleeves to the baby to eat, but the baby doesn't like to eat such sweet and greasy snacks, and our whole family loves to eat Xiao Xianning. When the baby and Duan Duan left the snack for Xiao Xianning, Xiao Xianning's eyes were crooked with a smile, and he hid the snack back in his sleeve. Xiao Xianning was sent back to the room with some big characters, I looked at his back and laughed, Xiao Xianning is really getting more and more cute.

In the end, Zhang Bao spoke: "I'll leave tomorrow, and my wife will go with me, Duan'er will take care of my sister and take care of the family, you know?" "The baby also wants to go to Baoding with us, but unfortunately it will be unsuccessful in the future, and the palace will still send people to see the baby from time to time, so the baby can't go, so we can only send us to Fangshan.

Back in Fangshan, we assigned the servants at home. Wang Er and his wife and Zhou Lin and his wife and about 20 other subordinates went to Baoding, Changgui and his wife took care of the other courtyard, Ma San'er and his wife went to the new courtyard in Duanduan, Changfu and the second sister-in-law were in charge of the mansion and the other courtyard, and the other little Gu Quansheng was promoted to deputy steward because of his outstanding performance, as Changgui's deputy. The family was arranged, Zhang Bao and I set off for Baoding early the next morning, the baby was going to live in Fangshan, but the old lady of the Tong family wrote back last time that she wanted to send a grandmother to teach the baby the rules, so the baby could only go back to the Earl's Palace.

This Cui Mama sent by the old lady is an old person in the palace of the late Empress Xiao Kangzhang, and she has taught me before, so I still have some understanding, how to say it? People are very strict and have a lot of means, but fortunately, he is a person who knows measure, as long as he is obedient, he will not do anything to you. But I'm still worried that my baby will suffer, because I can't be clever in front of her, otherwise I will suffer a lot.

In the future, the life of the baby and Duanduan in the Earl's Court I can only spy on one or two from the letter from the second sister-in-law, and now my task is to help Zhang Bao play the card of Mrs. diplomacy in the new office, and have a good time, no, it is to train the baby son Xiao Xianning well.

———————————I'm going to the divider line in Baoding———————————

Xiao Xianning sat in a carriage with me, and from time to time I saw him take a piece of pastry out of his sleeve to eat, and I greeted him with a smile: "Brother Xian, come to Eniang's side." Xiao Xianning hurriedly stuffed the pastry into his mouth, and sat down with his cheeks bulging

Next to me. I hugged him in my lap and took out the bag of pastries from his sleeve, and I saw Xiao Xianning's eyes widen all at once, but he couldn't speak because his mouth was stuffed with things. I couldn't help laughing and said to Xiao Xianning with a gentle face: "

Brother Xian, is it good to give the pastries to Eniang, Eniang is hungry" Xiao Xianning looked suddenly, nodded vigorously, I ate slowly, while watching Xiao Xianning staring at the pastry with a reluctant look, I almost laughed in my heart, in fact, I didn't

I love to eat such sweet and greasy pastries, but I just love to see Xiao Xianning's cute appearance~~~~~~
