When Jinyang Hou returned home, he immediately called An Shi and Shizi Hua Yixuan over.

An rarely came to Jinyang Hou's study, and this time he was very nervous when he was called over, and asked, "Master Hou, what happened?" ”

Jinyang Hou said: "I won't tell you what happened. Today, His Royal Highness the King of Jin gave me an order to quickly find the Yin family. Let the Yin family think about contacting the people of the Qin family. Madam, His Royal Highness also gave you an order, asking you to go to the old Duchess of the Qin family and inquire if you can contact Miss Mingyue or the people around Miss Mingyue. I thought about it, what kind of plan did the Xingxing Building have for Lichu. This is a big deal, you need to do it quickly, you need silver, you need antique gifts, you need to withdraw it directly from the treasury, or receive the silver from the account, at all costs, you must also hurry up to get this matter done. ”

An Shi sighed and said, "That Yin Dyed Autumn, how much trouble has it caused us during this period of time?" I don't even want this daughter-in-law anymore. Hou Ye is now asking us to contact the Yin family at this time, isn't this Yu Hu seeking skin? I think, not to mention giving gifts, even sending a mountain of gold, it's useless. ”

Jinyang Hou paused for a moment and asked, "Didn't we choose a date?" Didn't you say that they were scheduled to get married on December 16? The post was sent out by our family, at this time, what did you say that you don't want this daughter-in-law? Don't you want the face of our Hou Mansion anymore? ”

An Shi became annoyed: "Why don't I want the face of the Hou Mansion?" After this marriage is decided, Master Hou, tell me yourself, how many moths have come out of the Yin family? Marriage, name, color, which time is obedient? When was the Yin family not a lion opening his mouth? How much has our family spent going out? By now, I have made a rough calculation, and the 100,000 taels of silver are gone. This daughter-in-law hasn't been married yet? What kind of daughter-in-law is this? More expensive than a princess? It's just a concubine, and the Yin family is not as good as ours? The highest official in the family is just a fifth or sixth grade, such a concubine of a small official family, married into our Hou Mansion family as a first-grade prince's wife, and still handles it like this? ”

During this period of time, Jinyang Hou was also resentful of the Yin family, and at this moment he could only lose his temper with his son: "Isn't it a good thing that this evil obstacle has done?" Our family is a family of Houfu, and the family is quite wealthy, what kind of girl can't we marry? He has to get a concubine of the Yin family back, now he knows, right? ”

Hua Yixuan was also a little aggrieved and said: "What my father taught was. It's all my son's fault. But what should we do if this is already the case? At the beginning, the son only cherished the character of Dye Qiu, although she was born in a yin family and was a concubine, but her upbringing, knowledge, housekeeper, and director were not bad, and the daughters of ordinary big families could not compare. He has a gentle temperament, treats people and things well, and has a good name among the ladies of the family. At that time, the son thought that it would be better to marry her and come back as a concubine. How did you know that something went wrong in the Qin family and was forced to settle a family affair? ”

Speaking of this, An Shi was still very annoyed: "I think that incident is that the Qin family's Lady Yin and her sister-in-law were making trouble. Count our family. Our Yixuan's appearance, this character, and this family are worthy of being a princess. I'm really. ”

Hua Yixuan kept his mouth silent and was silent.

Jinyang Hou was also a little annoyed: "Okay, it's useless to regret it now." Now the top priority is to think about how to complete the things that His Highness has assigned. Madam, you send a talking mother-in-law to the Yin family to talk about it, talk to your daughter-in-law, and your in-laws, and let them all help. Also, Yixuan, you should also go and inquire about it. Madam, you have to go to the Qin family in person and ask the old lady to inquire. ”

An didn't dare to delay such a serious matter, so he hurriedly packed his gifts and prepared to go out.

Hua Yixuan also returned to his residence, and after thinking for a while, he called the little maid over, wrote a letter himself, and took out a hairpin of mutton fat and white jade and put it in the small clip, saying: "You go and give this clip to the hand of the maid next to Miss Yin, and tell her that this is a very important thing." Miss Yin personally went to the Qin family to investigate. Do you understand? ”

The little guy took the order and left.

Here, An's cleaned up and stopped, and said to the mother-in-law beside him: "This four-color gift, plus two velvet horses that are popular this winter, and a womb flower to the eldest lady of the Yin family, tell her the matter I just said, and ask her to come to the door to talk to the Yin lady of the Qin family, and see if she can find out the news." Afterwards, we still have a big gift in our house. Also, I want to tell her that this matter, but the matter that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is concerned about, has been done, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin will personally reward it. In the future, it will be very beneficial to the children of their Yin family. ”

The mother-in-law should come down, so she took the gift, got in the car, and left.

Here, An Shi changed into big clothes to go out, brought gifts, and went to Qin's house by car.

When he arrived at Qin's house, An's looked out from inside the car, and saw the vermilion lacquer portal of Qin's gate, brilliant and magnificent, and An's couldn't help pouting. She has been in and out of the Qin family for decades, and she is used to the tattered Qin family, and she looks down on the Qin family, which is now full of glory and magnificence.

When they arrived at the second gate, the servants who had strict rules politely invited An Shi to get out of the carriage, and naturally some servants drove the carriage to the front yard. They changed Ann into a beautiful sedan chair. The sedan chair is also equipped with a hand warmer and a foot warmer.

An Shi thought about the situation of coming to the Qin family before, and then looked at the servants of these rules, thoughtful preparations, and couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, this Qin family is really different from before, not only is it rich, but this rule is also very complete, even the top people are just like this, and it can even be said that it is better than the Hua family.

Thinking of this, An Shi's heart became even more uncomfortable. She lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw the mother-in-law following outside, wearing a sauce-colored printed satin cotton jacket and a silver hairpin on her head, looking very clean and neat, so she said, "This mother looks very familiar?" ”

The mother-in-law replied with a smile: "Madam, the slave maid has served the old lady before, and the lady may have seen the slave maid in the old lady's house." The slave maid belongs to Zheng Cai's family. ”

An smiled and said, "It turned out to be Mama Zheng." Since you are in the old lady's room, why are you on the second door now? ”

Mama Zheng didn't have a trace of complaint on her face, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Hui, now that there are more slaves in our house, we old people are responsible for teaching the newcomers the rules." The old slave served by the old lady's side. It is an old man in the house for several lifetimes, so the housekeeper attaches great importance to it, and lets the old slave receive the female dependents on the second gate and manage the newcomers. ”

The An family was speechless, and it was impossible to provoke, the slaves and maids of the Qin family were not the same as before. In the past, the Qin family was a big sieve, and any news could be heard. Now, even the slaves and maids on the second door have answered without leaking. An's heart sank.
