"Since the young lady knows that the matter of the Lantern Festival Lantern Tower is not an accident, it is the ghost of the two mothers-in-law in the purchasing office, even if they are old and poor, and they can't find real evidence for a while, you are afraid that you can't suppress it, you should also make it clear to the Duchess of the country, how can you tolerate these slaves." Mama Qi had obviously been holding back her words for a while, and at this time, although she suppressed her voice, she still had an uncontrollable anger.

Dong Yin frowned slightly, thought for a while, and decided to talk to the nurse: "In my opinion, things are not as simple as they seem, even if I am a new daughter-in-law, I also found out the strangeness, my mother has been in charge for many years, how can she not be half aware?" But Mama also saw that my mother only comforted me a lot, although there was no half a word of blame, but there was no intention to delve into it. ”

Mama Qi was stunned for a moment: "The young lady is suspicious, this matter is the Duchess of the ......" Banxiang still shook her head: "No, in the eyes of the old slave, the Duchess of the State is really a virtuous person, although she is the stepmother of the son, but in the past, she asked for warmth, and there is no difference from her own life." ”

Dong Yin sighed slightly: "At that time, I was still in the boudoir, and my mother inquired, saying that my mother was a virtuous person, and I was glad for me, but my grandmother had told her, saying that Mrs. Tai had been very defensive of her mother for many years, so it can be seen that she was not very relieved. ”

Speaking of this, he paused again, and after some consideration, he continued: "I also know that I am now in charge of affairs, and I propose to change some old rules to hurt the interests of the steward, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people below, if it is a mother, I will definitely remind me, but my mother not only reminded me, but also indulged me, the matter of the lamp tower is my carelessness, and I taught people to take advantage of the loopholes, those two mothers-in-law just want me to suffer, and be blamed by the elders, it is best to attract complaints, so that the elders think that I am young and not suitable for managing family affairs." ”

"Did the lady expect it?" Mama Qi was really surprised, and she actually resumed the title of Dong Yin's boudoir.

"I also want to test it, Mrs. Tai really loves me, but as a princess, her status is noble, and she doesn't have to do it herself, in the early years, there were two powerful assistants of Mama Yang and Mama Song, and trivial things were not worried about by Mrs. Tai, and she didn't notice it for a while, and it was reasonable to remind me, but my mother is different, she is the stepfamily, and she was originally guarded, and she can thoroughly control the feed, it can be seen that there are means, how can I not know that the three fires of my new official will burn out accidents."

Dong Yin smiled lightly: "I looked at me coldly, but I didn't notice it afterwards, reflecting her generosity, but she also intended to let me taste great, and rely on her more, grandma think about it, after the Lantern Festival, I trembled, and my mother was in charge of all matters, although she also scolded me too carefully on the surface, but let me do so, it can be seen that I have fulfilled my heart." ”

Mama Qi was even more surprised.

"Or last year, when I first took over the housework, the fifth sister told me, saying that those stewards below are mostly docile on the surface, and they are disobedient, let me be careful, the fifth sister is just a boudoir, and they all know these famous halls, how can she not know about her mother?"

Mama Qi was completely speechless, and after thinking about it carefully, she said again: "In that case, why didn't the young lady speak directly to the prince?" ”

Dong Yin sighed lightly: "Mama, even if my mother is wary of me, it is reasonable, how much real harmony can there be between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?" can't prove that her mother has malicious intentions, just like Mrs. Tai has been wary of her mother for many years, has his father ever commented with Mrs. Tai about this? I also want to see that if this is all there is, it is nothing more than to do more to bridge the gap between me and my mother and win her trust, but if ...... The mother is also so superficially charitable to the son, but in fact she has those bad intentions......"

Mama Qi gasped, and thought about it, it is not impossible, after all, the Huang family is a stepmother, and there is also her own biological San Lang!

"The slave is really old, and these things are not well thought out." Mama Qi sighed: "It's the young lady, who was originally a gentle and weak daughter's family, but now it's ...... At that time, I only thought that the marriage with the Guogong Mansion was really good, but how did I know that there were still these sinister ones. ”

Dong Yin smiled again and comforted the nurse: "Maybe it's just that I'm too worried, besides, don't say that the family of the public is an ordinary aristocratic eunuch, and there are many things that fight for money and money, where there is smooth sailing, after Lingshan Xiapu Yuan, I almost suffered from Zhen Mo's poisonous hands, I completely understand how sinister this person's heart is, last time thanks to the fifth sister, but others can help me once, can't help me for a lifetime, this future peace and joy, I have to rely on myself." ”

Mama Qi was still glad: "Fortunately, the prince treats you really and considerately, but if the Duchess of the country is really malicious, the young lady can't bear it by herself." ”

Dong Yin bowed slightly, but did not continue the topic.

And the next day, Dong Yin first went to Yuanying Hall to say goodbye, and then went to Herui Garden to have a conversation, and then arrived at Luqing Garden, where she saw the beautiful scenery and the spring twilight sorting out the female red handicrafts for her future husband's family.

According to the customs of Dalong, when the bride gets married, in addition to the boots and clothes for the husband, it is also indispensable to give the "door ceremony" to the husband's family.

The king of Chu and the general of Zhenguo have a pair of brocade boots, which are not embroidered and unpretentious, but the texture and materials are extremely exquisite.

The old princess's is a shawl, and the vermilion silk is embroidered with lush purple flowers and leaves, gold and silver silk money hooks, flashy but not glamorous.

As for Xiao Xie's, it is also a shawl, a leno intertwined with daylilies and magnolias, without embroidery, and a string of rice beads on the edge.

Dong Yin was already very familiar with Yijing at this time, and at a glance she could see that the gorgeous shawl of the old princess was not from her "skillful hands".

"Whose craft? This embroidery is really delicate. Dong Yin sat on the edge of the kang on the side, watching the two maids spread out and displaying, and praised it from the bottom of his heart.

"Xia Ke embroidered, there are a few around me, and she is the most dexterous in her hands." Yijing said.

Xia Ke hurriedly humbled himself: "The slave maid just does it, and this color line matching and pattern are all from Wu Niang's mind." ”

Dong Yin listened, smiled lightly, didn't say much in front of the maid, and when she went to the teahouse with Yijing, she reminded a few words: "The wedding date is set in a hurry, if these are all done by the fifth sister herself, it will be too late, but the fifth sister has to tell the maids not to leak their mouths, for fear that someone will pick on them." ”

In fact, the daughters of aristocratic families, most of the "door rites" are prepared by the maids, and the bride is just a little bit of needlework, and the husband's family is also tacit, but you have to be careful in words.

Yi Jing knew what Dong Yin meant, and smiled slightly: "I am also famous for my clumsiness in Nühong, it is a matter of self-awareness, and I can't hide it, but the old princess likes exquisite embroidery, if she really prepares it herself, it is not to her liking, and the old princess is not one of those picky and strict elders, Su Xi goes straight ...... "Okay, in fact, the old princess will not play with others at all: "I just think that the most important thing in this gift is to linn the heart." ”

In fact, there are four handicrafts, only the boots of the King of Chu are from Yijing's own hands, she is not so "sincere" to the Zhenguo General and his wife, but Xiao Xie can't keep being picky, so there is no embroidery on the boots or shawls, and he specially ordered Qiushuang to be sloppy in the needlework, on the surface, it is still done by Yijing.

In that life, in fact, none of them came from Yijing himself, and no one was picky about the results.

However, back then, Xiao Xie's "flattery" and "connivance" of Yijing in every possible way, which was very different from the situation in this life.

Mama Song was very "careful" back then, and prepared a brocade for the old princess, the embroidery was very simple, to show that it was from Yijing's own hands, but the old princess was not happy, and her face was shown at the time, and she said to Yijing: "The best Yunjin has been ruined by this embroidery." ”

The beautiful scenery of this life simply prepared a gorgeous and exquisite shawl.

Dong Yin listened to the explanation, and was relieved: "It's me who is worrying blindly, and I knew that the fifth sister was a successful one." ”

"My sister-in-law is kind, so I can naturally save it." Yijing took Dong Yin's hand: "These days are all tedious, I haven't had time to ask in detail, how is the sister-in-law of the Denglou observing?" ”

"As we expected, someone is in the middle." Dong Yin didn't mention her suspicions about the Huang family, at this time she still thought that the Huang family had reservations about her daughter-in-law, and it didn't mean that she had malicious intentions towards the brothers and sisters of the world.

Yi Jing was slightly silent: "What is my sister-in-law's plan?" ”

"Originally, I was young, and I had only been in the house for two years, so I was in a bit of a hurry in family affairs, so I should suffer a dark loss, and I just need to be careful about everything in the future."

Yijing bowed slightly, secretly wondering if this matter had anything to do with his stepmother, Dong Yin knew in his heart that it was clumsy on the surface but it was also proper, this matter was also like a state affair, the emphasis was on gradual progress, even if he acted vigorously and resolutely, he had to find the right time, as long as Dong Yin understood the strange and had a plan in his heart, besides, the eldest brother also knew about Mama Song's collusion with his stepmother, and he would definitely pay a lot of attention to it, and with his protection, his sister-in-law would not suffer any more losses.

Suddenly remembered that life, Zhen Mo was very decisive and ruthless, and managed Songtao Garden properly, but the next person had a lot of discussions about her, although her stepmother also asked her to assist in housework, but there have been a lot of omissions, and I can't remember what happened, even my grandmother blamed her for being too hasty and harsh.

But later, Zhen Mo thought that she also understood, "gentle drizzle" a lot, and the prestige of many stewards grew, if it weren't for the assassination of the prince in the ninth year of Yuanqing, which affected the eldest brother, maybe the internal affairs of the Guogong Mansion would be handed over to her.

As soon as I thought of this, Yijing's heart was heavy.

If the stepmother is really malicious, then did the accidental death of the eldest brother have anything to do with her?

However, the eldest brother died of poisoned arrows in order to protect the prince, and the stepmother was just a woman in the house, so she had evil courage, but she didn't have such great ability.

But Yijing was always unsteady in his heart, and faintly felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't find the clue for a while.

——

In the blink of an eye, the queen mother and queen in the palace gave the dowry, and the female official of the ordinance was ordered to present the wedding dress to the Guogong Mansion to guide the procedures that should be followed on the day of the wedding ceremony - because it is a clan wedding ceremony, it is not the same as the folk customs and etiquette, this is still when the Yuan Emperor of the Eastern Ming Dynasty unified the country, because of the courtiers, saying that the rebellion of the Ten Kingdoms led to the collapse and evolution of the former Ming rites, and the customs followed by the people of various countries are very different.

After the founding of Dalong, the royal wedding ceremony continued the norms of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, which was different from the wedding ceremony of the nobles and the common people.

However, many differences are limited to the wedding ceremony, and some folk marriage customs, that is, clan wedding ceremonies, are still followed.

Similar to the general wedding, the day before the wedding ceremony, the dowry passed through the door, and the woman chose the Quanfu "shop room".

The third lady Xu Shi took on this task, she is the aunt of Yijing, her parents and children are complete, the only flaw is the death of her father-in-law, so she chose three women who fully meet the standard of "full blessing" among relatives and friends, a total of four people, with the "ten miles of red makeup", on the 11th day of May, to lay the felt mattress tent in the palace of the king of Chu.

Qiu Yue was extremely excited, ran in and out, and chattered about the things she had inquired about in front of Yijing: "Those rich families, the most relished thing is that the end of the makeup is the one who enters the door, and this one does not go out, but our two families are only separated by a road, and it is too easy to reach this point. ”

After a while, he came in again to report: "Wu Niang, it's lively outside the door, and the firecrackers are ringing out, attracting a lot of people to watch, as well as nobles, riding horses to see the excitement." ”

Suddenly, he entered and quipped: "Wu Niang Wu Niang, the slave maid went to the corner gate, and saw that the third lady had returned, and it was the prince who sent it off in person. ”

A nest of wind went out again, this time after two moments before running back, almost tripped on the threshold, and the little face was even more excited and red: "Wu Niang, listen to the third lady, the new house is decorated with festivity, and the palace is also full of lights, jubilant, and the people who went to send makeup have received a lot of rewards, and everyone is smiling." ”

It was with the autumn moon that the beautiful scenery finally had a bit of a tangible feeling.

This is not a dream, tomorrow, she is really going to get married.
