Xiang was still a little panicked in his heart.

Others don't know, but she knows that her mother doesn't know how many years she has been muttering about her aunt behind her back for this matter!

She consulted Xu Si's advice.

Xu Siyu also felt that this matter was very tricky, thought about it, and said, "Since my mother said to let me keep it, let's keep it for the time being." He added, "We're going to leave in two days, and we're going to let my aunt know." You mention it to her when the time comes, see what she says, and it's not too late for us to make plans! ”

Xiang Roujin helped Mrs. Xiang take care of the middle feed when she was in her mother's house, and she knew the affairs of the Xiang family best in a few brothers and sisters. Lord Zhou is now concurrently the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Procuratorate to inspect the two Huai River workers, Zhou Gongzi and fight again, Yonghe 16 years in the Jinshi, just five years, now is the head of the Shandong Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Households, the future is great, Xiang Roujin is a woman with both ability and political integrity, whether it is the Zhou family or Zhou Gongzi, they are extremely respectful, Mrs. Xiang relies on this eldest daughter more and more, what is going on at home, they like to listen to Xiang Roujin's opinion.

Xiang smiled and nodded: "I know." I'll go see my eldest sister early tomorrow morning. ”

Xiang Roujin knew her sister's intention, and smiled a little helplessly: "I also heard my eldest aunt talk about this incident once when I was a child. It seems that when my aunt got married, she wanted to bring the books in her study with her, and your grandmother immediately agreed. The mother felt that this book was no better than gold and silver, it was an heirloom, so she quietly muttered behind her grandmother's back, "Although it is said to be a dowry, but in the end, it has become someone else's thing", and somehow, it reached the grandmother's ears, and the grandmother was furious, grabbed this sentence, and arranged the mother's relatives in front of her grandfather, and finally gave the Xiang family's collection of books to her aunt as a dowry. Aunt is like this, I think, eight or nine times out of ten still remember my mother's words. ”

Don't you hate my mother for giving birth to a daughter? Okay, I'll give your daughter what you care about the most, and see what else you have to say...... After many years, I still slapped Mrs. Xiang crisply!

"How is that good? How is this good? Xiang was so anxious that he said, "My mother-in-law has already opened her mouth and asked me to take things - things can't be withheld." But if I let my mother know......" she said, and hurriedly took her sister's hand, "Sister, you have to give me an idea?" ”

Seeing that her sister was very embarrassed between her mother and aunt, Xiang Roujin felt uncomfortable. She pondered for a while and said, "You have a good collection of books. I'll go tell her there. ”

"How?" Xiang was worried.

She was afraid that her mother would even blame her sister when the time came.

"Tell me the truth!" Xiang Rou said solemnly, "The three feet of ice between my mother and aunt are no longer a day's cold. Even if we have the heart to help my aunt cover up, my mother will probably blame my aunt, and if we are not careful, we may even blame your mother-in-law......"

Xiang Shi listened to this sudden in his heart, and without waiting for his sister to finish speaking, he hurriedly interrupted his sister's words: "Don't involve my mother-in-law!" As he spoke, his face bitter, "I'm all burned out now...... There's no more chaos! ”

"Don't worry!" Xiang Roujin couldn't help but sigh when she looked at it, "I know what to do!" Then he cheered up and asked her about going to Jiaqing Mansion with a smile, "I should live in the yamen when the time comes!" The brother-in-law has a small position, and the courtyard of the yamen must be very small. I'm afraid I can't accommodate this daily furnishings, maids, and mothers-in-law with too much......"

When these words came to Xiang's heart, she immediately changed the topic: "No, I'm also worried about this." It is used daily, and there are more than 20 cage boxes, which are all brought with you, plus maids and mothers-in-law, at least two official ships. Xianggong is just a judge from the seventh grade, so he went out of Beijing in such a mighty way, and others don't know how to arrange him after seeing it? Maybe it will also attract the imperial history. When he arrived in Jiaqing, his Shangfeng and his colleagues looked at us with such fanfare, and Xianggong was born in the Yongping Marquis Mansion, I am afraid that Xianggong is a rampant personality, and he will only get along with Shangfeng and colleagues in the future, not good! But Xianggong insisted on taking everything with him, and I couldn't say anything, so I had to pack up my things for the time being, and wait until the day of departure. ”

Xiang Rou listened and her heart moved: "Brother-in-law asked you to pack up all your things?" Isn't the courtyard where you live empty? ”

"yes!" Xiang said, "I said that I would leave two maids to watch the yard and Xianggong didn't agree......" Speaking of this, she hesitated, "Eldest sister, look, Xianggong is not going to take advantage of this opportunity......" She said, picked up the oranges on the kang table, and divided them into two.

Xiang Roujin nodded slightly: "I also think it means this when I hear it!" ”

Xiang Shi groaned: "It's just that Xianggong didn't say it in front of me, and I couldn't ask even more!" ”

Although they are the eldest sons, they should be separated as soon as possible for the sake of the second son, but if the parents are silent, they can't take the initiative to bring it up.

Xiang Rou gave her an idea: "Then you put some things that you don't usually need in the grange given by your brother-in-law's family when he got married, and then send the butlers and mothers to guard it and see what your brother-in-law says." ”

Xiang understood, threw a grateful glance at the eldest sister, and immediately instructed the maid to repack the cage after going back, put together the usual ones and those that are not commonly used, and put another one after receiving the library, and let the maid and mother-in-law make a book according to this, and then went to discuss with Xu Siyu: "There are too many things, and I am going to put some of them in the grange." ”

Xu Siyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but nodded at Xiang with a normal expression.

Xiang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

finally understood the meaning of Xianggong.

It seems that if you go out this time, you won't be able to come back!

She couldn't help but look at the courtyard where she had lived for seven or eight years.

The original shoulder-high banana tree has grown to human height, and the swing that Yingying helped build with the help of her fifth uncle when she was one year old stood there empty, and she suddenly felt a faint sadness in her heart.

In the first few years of marriage, she was also worried about the branch. But in the past few years, my grandmother has a cheerful temperament and treats people kindly, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are knowledgeable...... Thinking that those bustles would be farther and farther away from her, and then thinking that she didn't have to take care of anything at home in the past few years, even when she was pregnant and gave birth, her mother-in-law sent her mother to take care of her in every possible way, she suddenly became a little scared.

In the future, I can only rely on myself for everything, and Jiaqing Mansion, who is not familiar with the place, can I take this responsibility?

After thinking about it, someone ran over and hugged her thigh: "Mother, mother!" ”

She looked down and saw her daughter's face smiling like the sun.

"Yingying!" Xiang picked up his daughter, and her daughter immediately hugged her neck: "Mother, what are you doing in the yard?" ”

Her daughter's eyes were as clear and transparent as spring water, which made her heart calm down.

For the sake of her daughter, she also has to muster up courage and can't back down.

"I'm waiting for Yingying!" Xiang took a deep breath, and his voice was a little more firm than before, "When Yingying comes, let's go and say hello to my grandmother together!" ”

Yingying grinned, struggled to stand on the ground from her mother's arms, and took Xiang's hand: "Mother, let's go!" If they were late, the eldest brother and the second brother would eat all the bean paste cakes in my grandmother's house. ”

Xiang instructed the nurse to hug Brother Qing'er, and smiled and let her daughter pull her to the eleventh mother.

Looking at the three-masted official ship moving away from the distance, Xu Siyu, Xiang Shi, Yingying and Qing Ge'er standing on the side of the ship were confused, and Eleven Niang put down her waving arms.

"Let's go back!" Xu Lingyi, who was standing with his hands behind his back, glanced at his wife who was rubbing her arms. Dismissively authentic.

A faint smile flashed in his eyes.

Eleven Niang let out an "oh", and Jiang Shi was helping her to go to the carriage on the side.

Ying Niang saw Jiang stretch out her hand, took a step back, and walked behind Eleven Niang.

Four or five dressed in soldiers' robes and shouting scolded, speeding through the bustling dock of pedestrians towards the pier where they were.

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but stop and frowned.

The horses galloped all the way.

The guards of the Xu Mansion immediately swarmed up and formed a human wall.

Hearing the movement, Shi Niang, Jiang Shi, Ying Niang, Xu Sizhen, Xu Sijie and others couldn't help but follow the prestige, and saw several horses raise their front hooves in unison and neigh, and stopped at a distance of five or six steps away from the guard.

"Master Hou!" The leading knight jumped off his horse and knelt on the corner road full of stones, "The small one is the Praetorian Guard of the Qianqing Palace," he said, took out his waist card and handed it to the guards in front of him in the Xu Mansion, "I have received the emperor's decree and asked the Hou Ye to enter the palace immediately." ”

Xu Lingyi was a little surprised.

The guards of the Xu Mansion had already presented the soldier's waist card to Xu Lingyi to see.

Xu Lingyi glanced at it and instructed Xu Sizhen: "Take your mother back to the house with your fifth brother, and I'll come when I go." ”

Xu Sizhen and Xu Sizhen respectfully responded "yes", but their eyes invariably glanced at the soldiers.

Xu Lingyi took a few guards and galloped away with a few Praetorian Guards.

Eleven Niang and they sat in a carriage and entered the city slowly.

"Mother, Father will be fine, will he?" Yingniang was a little worried.

Jiang wanted to speak and stopped.

A few days ago, Chen Ge Lao asked for the selection of talents to replace Liang Ge Lao, who had already made up for him, but the emperor used the previous emperor's failure to allow it as an excuse and kept it on hold. These days, the emperor often invites his father-in-law into the palace to discuss matters. According to the words of the eldest uncle: Ouyang Ming was useless, and the emperor had to use Yongping Hou to contain the queen's father, Zhou Shizheng. The eldest aunt came to see her several times, and her words revealed that the emperor is now very kind to her father-in-law, and let her father-in-law help him advance the emperor's words, and also said that if the father-in-law wants to avoid suspicion, it is the same to recommend Lord Du. The Jiang family is equally grateful.

But how can she tell her father-in-law this!

Last time, my mother-in-law had already beaten her, and if she didn't know how to do this kind of thing again, her mother-in-law would definitely be angry!

But if you don't help say a word, the Jiang family will lose this opportunity, and the momentum will only get weaker and weaker, and if you want to enter the cabinet, I'm afraid it's impossible!! ~！ :
