Chapter 215: New Year's Moon (Part II)

Before dawn the next day, Eleven Niang got up, ate two meat buns with Xu Lingyi at random, and began to dress according to the product.

As soon as they were dressed, Binju hugged Xu Sijie, the three aunts, and Tao's mother and others to come over to greet them for the New Year.

Xu Sijie's eyes hadn't opened yet, and his sleepy eyes were snuggling on Binju's shoulder.

Eleven Niang smiled and rubbed his black green silk, took out the purse with the silver bills to reward them, and followed Xu Lingyi to Mrs. Tai with Xu Sijie.

Mrs. Tai had already gotten up and was asking Mother Du to bring fruit snacks: "...... I won't be back until early afternoon at the earliest. I remember one year it dragged on to the end. ”

This is also the reason why Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi dare not drink porridge for breakfast.

Who knows what will happen then? Can't you go to the toilet halfway?

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, and asked Xu Sijie to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Tai, and then went over to help Mother Du pack the box.

The third master and the third lady came, followed by Xu Siqin, Xu Siyu and Xu Sijian.

Xu Sijian entered the door and asked, "Where is Brother Zhen?" Hasn't he gotten up yet? ”

It is said that yesterday they played until the beginning of the ugly day.

"I'm up early!" Brother Zhen suddenly appeared at the door, "I didn't sleep too late!" ”

He glared at Xu Sijian very unconvinced, and then ran to Mrs. Tai to wish Mrs. Tai a "Happy New Year".

Mrs. Tai smiled and touched his head.

He turned around and ran in front of Xu Sijie: "Have you given your grandmother a New Year's greeting?" "It looks like she's going to tell him what to do.

Binju hurriedly said: "Pye, please." As soon as I came, I gave Mrs. Tai a New Year's greeting. ”

He nodded in satisfaction.

provoked Mrs. Tai to laugh.

The third master and the third lady also laughed, and brought the three brothers Xu Siqin forward to greet Mrs. Tai, and the fifth master helped the fifth lady to come.

Everyone greeted each other and was very affectionate.

Mrs. Tai saw that it was not early, so she left Du's mother at home and took her son and daughter-in-law to the palace.

The group broke up in front of the noon gate, Xu Lingyi led Xu Lingning and Xu Lingkuan to Fengxian Hall to meet the emperor, and Mrs. Tai led Eleven Niang, the third lady and the fifth lady to Kunning Palace to meet the queen.

A tent has already been set up outside the palace gate. The inner woman is in the northwest; The princess is in the southeast; The foreign woman is in the southwest.

Entering the tent, Eleven Niang saw many familiar faces.

Mrs. Weibei Hou Lin, Mrs. Lin Da*, Mrs. Zhongqin Bogan, Mrs. Zhongshan Hou Tang, Mrs. Cheng Guogong Qiao, and Mrs. Lin Da*'s sister-in-law were all there, but they didn't see Mrs. Huang and Huang San's grandmother of Yongchang Hou.

All acquaintances.

Mrs. Tai took her daughter-in-law forward to salute.

There was a loud laugh at the door.

Everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

I saw seven or eight women walking in surrounded by Jianning Hou and Shou Changbo.

Some people stepped forward to say hello, some stood still and nodded with a smile, and some turned their faces sideways to talk to the people around them, making a look of ignorance.

As for Mrs. Jianning Hou and Mrs. Chang Shoubo, they were full of smiles, greeted the people who greeted them warmly, nodded and greeted those who were smiling, and the scene was very lively.

Eleven Niang heard someone behind her "hum" coldly, and said in a low voice: "This is in Kunning Palace." It's so unruly! ”

She hesitated to look back to see who said this, but saw Mrs. Jianning Hou walking over with a smile.

"Mrs. Tai." She greeted Mrs. Tai from a distance, "I saw it at the funeral of the five princes last time." Are you okay? ”

The death of the fifth prince is not only the sadness of the royal family, but also the sadness of the Xu family. In addition, there are still some rumors about the untimely death of the fifth prince, and everyone listened to Mrs. Jianninghou's words, or showed curious eyes, or showed angry expressions, or frowned, or gloated smiles, and looked towards Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai, who was being watched by everyone, looked calm, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows did not move: "Although the old body is old, fortunately, the teeth are still good, and the amount of food has not decreased." Thank you Mrs. Jianning Hou for your concern! "It's a bit of a cheap old thing, but you can still lead the troops.

Mrs. Tai's words were hidden, and the people in the tent heard it, and couldn't help but stare at the two of them with bated breath.

Mrs. Jianning Hou was secretly annoyed in her heart.

I think that at the beginning, when the emperor was just a prince, the Xu family was like a good child in front of the queen mother. Now that her daughter is the queen, she turns her face and doesn't recognize anyone. refused the kindness of the Yang family again and again, and instructed the people of the Wen family to compete with the Yang family for the porcelain business of internal government affairs. If you don't give them a little bit of power this time, I'm afraid that they will be more arrogant in the future. Where is the Yang family still alive.

Thinking of this, she snorted coldly in her heart, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai is really a blessing! has filial sons and daughters-in-law, and children and grandchildren, so naturally they eat well and sleep well. Then he glanced at Eleven Niang, "By the way, I heard that you have recently added a grandson, why don't you bring it into the palace to show the queen mother?" After all, with the teaching of Mrs. Yongping Hou, the etiquette and demeanor are different, right? ”

Yongping Hou Xu Lingyi raised a child outside, and his son was only brought home when he was three years old - this is the big news in Yanjing City in recent days, from high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and pawns, they have to ask each other "do you know". Who doesn't know, who doesn't!

Can be so direct, on such occasions...... It's so rare!

There are few people who can hide their surprise, some look at Mrs. Tai, some look at Eleven Niang, and there are many people who look at the third lady and the fifth lady.

For a while, the needles in the curtain could be heard.

Since the news of the child spread, Eleven Niang has been prepared in her heart - there is such a big gossip, whoever meets her will probably say it. She was also prepared. It was decided to respond to all changes with the same and to deal with all the people with the words of Mrs. Tai. I didn't expect someone to say it in such a tone on such an occasion.

It seems that his "preparation" has not been done enough.

She smiled and looked at Mrs. Jianning Hou with a solemn expression.

For this kind of naked malicious attack, Shi Niang felt that she could not be polite, let alone retreat and tolerate it, so she had to refute it in four or two. Otherwise, this kind of person will only behave more arrogantly. I even think you're afraid of her and say even more ugly things.

However, she is a daughter-in-law, and with Mrs. Tai present, she can't go past Mrs. Tai to refute, otherwise, it will be rude.

She couldn't help but look at the lady.

The third lady standing behind Shi Niang looked a little embarrassed.

It's all a good thing done by Sifang! Now it is embarrassing for everyone.

She looked at the Fifth Lady.

I saw the fifth lady frowning.

This Mrs. Jianning Hou, don't blame others for looking down on her!

What the hell did she know she was talking about?

As the saying goes, hitting people doesn't slap them in the face. She is like this, not only slapping the Xu family's face, but also slapping the queen's face. You must know that the Yang family is the queen mother's foreign family, the Xu family is the queen's foreign family, and the queen mother and the emperor are not biological mothers and sons. In front of the public, what do these foreign women think?

I'm afraid that in less than half a day, rumors of discord between the Queen Mother and the Queen will spread throughout Yan Kyoto!

She also looked at Madame Tai.

I saw Mrs. Tai raise her eyebrows and smile: "I really let Mrs. Jianning Marquis say it right." Then he smiled and took Eleven Niang's hand, "My daughter-in-law, it's not me who boasts." Although he is young, he is polite and behaves in moderation. The child is handed over to her, and I am a hundred and a thousand at ease. ”

Since he did not deny Mrs. Jianninghou's words, let alone refute Mrs. Jianninghou's words, the situation expanded.

All the ladies present smiled slightly when they heard this. Only Mrs. Jianninghou, her face was slightly gloomy, and she was about to say something, but who knew that Mrs. Tai suddenly turned around and drew everyone's attention.

I saw her smile and ask Mrs. Tang, who was standing beside her, "Hey, why don't you see your fourth wife?" It's a lark, and I don't know how nice it sounds to talk. I often tell my daughters-in-law that I should learn how to speak from the fourth wife of the Tang family! There is a hint of the fact that Mrs. Jianning Hou can't speak, and the topic is shortened to the parents.

Mrs. Tang looked hesitant.

She didn't want to offend the Xu family, but the Yang family was her in-laws - she couldn't turn her elbow out!

And Mrs. Shouchanghou, who had been paying attention to this side, saw that her sister-in-law had fallen behind, and came over to this side with an unkind face.

The atmosphere in the tent was stagnant.

The fifth lady looked at it, and immediately stepped forward and helped Mrs. Tai's arm: "You let us learn from the fourth wife of the Tang family, let us learn from the Lin family's grandmother, and let us learn from the third grandmother of the Huang family...... Who do we learn from? You also have to give us a letter of approval. The tone was coquettish, like a coquettish child, which immediately diluted the tension in the tent.

Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Gan is Mrs. Tai's in-laws, and on this occasion, she naturally wants to help the Xu family. changed his previous low-key and introverted, and immediately joked with the fifth lady with a smile: "Your mother-in-law is asking you to learn to speak with the fourth wife of the Tang family; Follow the Lin family's big * milk to learn housekeeping; Follow the third grandmother of the Huang family to learn to coax her mother-in-law to be happy......"

Suddenly, someone said, "Who is orchestrating my daughter-in-law behind my back?" ”

Everyone followed the prestige and saw Grandma Huang San helping her mother-in-law, Mrs. Huang of Yongchang Hou and walking in.

"Who made you late!" Mrs. Gan deliberately messed with Mrs. Yongchanghou, so that she could put Mrs. Shouchangbo who came over aside, "If you don't arrange your daughter-in-law, who will go?" ”

Although Mrs. Hou Huang of Yongchang was not present just now, she could guess a few when she saw the daughters of the Xu family and the daughters of the Yang family standing facing each other.

She didn't want the Xu family and the Yang family to have trouble at this time. You must know that the Queen Mother is not young, and there will always be a day when she leaves. But the days of the queen are still long. can't offend the queen mother because of this, and end up with an unfilial reputation.

Mrs. Yongchang Hou immediately pinched lightly and supported her third daughter-in-law.

Grandma Huang San is also a smart and clever person, and when she came in, she saw the stalemate between the two families, and her mother-in-law pinched it like this, and she didn't understand anything. immediately smiled: "That doesn't mean I'm coaxing my mother-in-law." When did I coax my mother-in-law? I really serve my mother-in-law! Then he pretended to be crazy and asked Mrs. Yongchang Hou: "Mother-in-law, you have to make the decision for me!" ”

It made everyone laugh again.

There was an attendant who ran in with a smiling face: "Ladies, the queen has ascended to the throne!" ”

Everyone looked stunned, and stood left and right according to their husbands' titles and ranks, and heard the sound of music faintly coming from Kunning Palace.

This is the imperial concubine leading the inner wife to congratulate the queen mother on the New Year.

Everyone's expressions were a little more solemn.

Sorry, it's a bit of a personal matter today, so don't wait for the night!
