Yu Shuilian said to Wei Shuzhen: "Third sister-in-law, the idea of the third sister is really good. The two aunts each gave gifts to express their hearts, which is estimated to be more popular with the second sister than those treasures. ”

Wei Shuzhen said: "No. Fourth brother and sister, look at it, the national teacher was in Liang Province when he was born in Anfu County, although we gave gifts, after all, we were not present in person. Although the families in the capital have sent gifts to Liang Province, they have not been present, so this time the birthday of the lord of Anfu will be very grand, I heard that the queen mother in the palace has been preparing for the internal affairs office for a long time. It may also be held in the palace. After the palace is done, the national teacher and the prince will also hold a banquet in the national teacher's mansion to celebrate, which can be regarded as returning to the capital and interacting with various families. ”

"We are sure that those in the palace and the national teacher's mansion will participate. Next year, we may not be able to participate. Next year, the third master and the fourth master of your family will be released. Where can I get back? Both of us are going to go with the post, and there is no way to congratulate them in person. This year is going to be extraordinarily grand. I'm ready for it, but after thinking about it yesterday, I still don't think it's good enough, so I'm trying to go home early today and buy some good things to add to. ”

Yu Shuilian felt very reasonable when she heard this, so she said: "What the third sister-in-law said is very true, we will meet the sister-in-law for a while, talk to the sister-in-law, let's go back quickly." I do recall that I still have a few nice things in my storeroom that I can add to, but I still have to rummage through them. By the way, I remembered, my sister-in-law seemed to say that in two days, the second sister-in-law would also go to the capital with their eldest son and several children. ”

"The second brother may not be able to come. He can't easily leave Pillow Island now. The second sister-in-law came this time, probably for the purpose of Anfu County's birthday banquet. They must be more prepared. ”

Wei Shuzhen said: "Actually, the National Normal University has taken good care of our brothers and sisters in our family, and has never asked us to reciprocate. Besides, she is a veritable rich country, I heard that in the past ten years alone, the national teacher has donated no less than 50 million taels of silver to the emperor. Where does she care about us, it's just our thoughts. It doesn't matter who is more abundant. ”

Yu Shuilian said with a smile: "What the third sister-in-law said is that I am narrow-minded. Everyone, in fact, it's good to be as harmonious as our Qin family. There are no outsiders here, and the third sister-in-law also knows. Our Yu family is known as a big family in Jiangnan, but in fact, all kinds of struggles are also emerging in an endless stream, and there are all kinds of new things. I grew up in that kind of home, and I didn't have a comfortable time. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at my mother-in-law's house, this day was comfortable. My mother-in-law treats me very leniently, and I don't have to set rules to serve. The sisters-in-law are all amiable, like sisters. The aunts of the older generation of the family did not live in the mansion. Since the eldest brother, there have been no concubines among these brothers. There is a lot less trouble invisibly. ”

"What's more, each of our families was separated not long after we got married. gave a rich industry, gave a comfortable house, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are all thick people, not only give us a lot of property, but also take care of us. didn't treat us as a family because of the separate door, or let our grandfather come over to share the housework, and let our concubines come over to manage the inner house, so that although they were busy, but when outsiders looked at it, they knew that our brothers and concubines were all single-minded. When you go out, you can represent the Qin family of Liguo, and they are all brothers and sisters of the National Teacher. Naturally, look at us. In the future, when the children get married, they can all be regarded as the sons and daughters from the Guogong Mansion, how noble are they? ”

"It seems that a century-old family like ours, those children and grandchildren who have been in the same house for generations, and the family motto of parents who are not separated from each other, is actually wrong."

Wei Shuzhen nodded and said, "But no, our Wei family is not the same?" My mother's family is already a side branch of the Wei family. The Marquis of Yunyang's mansion came out of those, and there was a lot of trouble in the mansion every day. I'm scared to see it. Speaking of which, it's still our family at its best. Therefore, I thought that in the future, the sons in front of me will become married, and although they are all siblings of the same mother, I will also let them go out with their daughters-in-law as soon as possible to live alone. Only the eldest son was left to live in our house. How much does this save? ”

Yu Shuilian smiled and said, "No, my father and I said the same thing." We all have to abide by these two family rules. Every day before I got married, I was worried that I would have to deal with the concubine in the future. Worried about the mother-in-law stuffing people in. Later, I heard that the National Teacher stipulated that the children of the Qin family were not allowed to take concubines. It doesn't feel like possible. When I got married, I saw that all of them were like this, and they were really extremely pure. Life is much more comfortable. It was before I got married, the big maids who served our lord were all married off within a month after I got married. I'm not afraid of the third sister-in-law's jokes, at that time, how happy I was. ”

Wei Shuzhen laughed: "Where would I laugh at you?" So do I. You know, most of our Wei sisters' sisters married into the capital. They are all naughty with the concubines now, where is there such a purity as me? I don't know how much I envy me. ”

The two of them laughed.

In the palace, Empress Fang was talking to the great eunuch Ming's father-in-law: "How is the Internal Affairs Office preparing for Anfu's arrest?" You'll have to take care of it yourself. ”

Gonggong Ming smiled and said, "Queen Mother, please rest assured? Who is the Lord of Anfu? That's the eldest granddaughter of the emperor, the first grandchild of the queen's mother, the eldest daughter of the king of Qin, and the son of the national teacher, where do they dare to slack? I do things very carefully, and I must make the Anfu County Lord's Zhou banquet colorful. ”

Empress Fang nodded with satisfaction and said, "No wonder everyone says that they are next generation." I hadn't experienced it before. Since I saw Anfu, my heart has been indescribably loved, and it is even more amazing than I loved Rui'er and Kun'er at the beginning. In the past, I was not blindly doting on my children, and I was strict with both Ruier and Kun'er. However, in the face of Anfu, I couldn't be strict at all. I just thought about spoiling it. I knew it wasn't good, but I couldn't help it. Tell me, isn't it weird? ”

Ming's father-in-law said: "Isn't it a next-generation relative? However, the county lord of Anfu is different from others, she is more painful than other children, and it is no wonder that the mother loves her more. Besides, the county lord is of noble birth, although she is the daughter of the prince, she will still have the identity of a princess in the future, and in addition, there is a mother like the national teacher, she will not be wronged in her life, even if she is pampered and doted on, she is not afraid. ”

Empress Fang couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it.
