On the way back to the house, You asked the 'girl' to take Zhuo Zhaojie's carriage and let Zhuo Zhaojie get into his own car, Zhuo Zhaojie saw that she had something to say, and sure enough, the carriage left Tongshanfang, and You asked her softly: "What did you and your Ruan cousin say?" ”

"There's nothing, just talk about the scenery in my aunt's home, Cousin Ruan said that the peony 'flower' will be, and it happened that Sister Wen also arrived at the greenhouse, so I talked to her." Zhuo Zhaojie said.

You Shi was a little regretful: "This Wen Xiaoniang's heart is good, in the past two years, your eldest aunt has been carefully comforted and relieved by her, but it is really not the right time to come today." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was taught by Ban's method, why didn't she understand what she meant when she heard this? His face instantly turned red, and he said angrily: "Mother! ”

"What are you anxious about? Although your eldest aunt has this intention, she will not tell you to leave the cabinet immediately when you have just returned. You glanced at her angrily and funny, and Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said, "Can Mother push this matter?" ”

"Why?" You Shi frowned slightly, and said puzzledly, "Your cousin Ruan...... Doesn't it treat you well? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "The eldest aunt personally ordered him to entertain me, where would he be rude?" But what's good or bad about just saying a few words? ”

You said: "Ah, what you said, how can you see the law?" When I married your father before, I only met and said a few words, and besides, when I got married, I was afraid that I wouldn't see each other? ”

"I ......" Zhuo Zhaojie had the heart to say that Ning Shaobi, in the end, he only came to You's side, he was not as familiar and comfortable as in front of Ban's, and he paused before saying, "I just came back, doesn't my mother want me to be filial by my side like this?" ”

"Okay, well, since you have this heart, let's talk about it later." When You heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile.

appeased the 'girl', but You thought in his heart that Zhuo Zhaojie really didn't tell the truth to himself-

Zhuo Zhaojie and the news of the continuous correspondence between the Hou of Yongcheng, of course the You family knew, although they did not tell Zhuo Fangli - but the You family himself was not optimistic about this 'door' marriage, first, Ning Shaobi's reputation in Chang'an was really not very good, and it was also thanks to him that he had an eldest princess grandmother, and he loved him very much, otherwise the Marquis of Yongcheng alone would not be able to stop the impeachment of the imperial history; Even if Ning Yaobi can ask for a marriage in the palace and suppress Min Pinghou, if the future of Zhuo Zhaojie is all pressed to Ning Yaobi's lifelong unchanging heart, the You family doesn't believe this, she and Zhuo Fangli have a good relationship, the four sisters-in-law and the eldest son are all married, didn't Zhuo Fangli 'get' a concubine Zhuo Zhi'an came out?

If Zhuo Zhaojie offended his grandfather and did not have the support of his mother's family, as Ning Shaobi, he might be very good to her when he liked it, but once he changed his mind, who knows what this loser will do? Who will Zhuo Zhaojie cry with at that time?

Not to mention that the Ning family's big house and second room are as straight as hatred, the eldest princess of Jiyang follows the second room for everything, the big house is afraid of the identity and seniority of the eldest princess and does not dare to say much, these resentments are attributed to the second room, the eldest princess is here, the big house does not dare to do anything, if the eldest princess goes, it is strange that the prince of Qi Guo and the Marquis of Yongcheng do not turn their faces! When the time comes, there will only be more 'messy' things.

Besides, in the backyard, although the Marquis of Yongcheng does not have a wife now, it stands to reason that the 'woman' of the prince is not controlled by his mother-in-law, but who doesn't know that the eldest princess of Jiyang has always preferred the second room, and she especially loves Ning Shaobi, can Ning Shaobi's wife often come to the eldest princess to serve and ask for peace in the future? The Guogong Mansion, the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and the Hou Mansion are all connected...... Is the position of the ninth young lady of the Ning family so easy to sit in?

In contrast, although Ruan Yunshu is only the heir adopted by Ruan Zhi and Zhuo Fanghua, his parents have passed away, and he has been raised by Zhuo Fanghua under his knees since he was a child, and he is no different from his own child, this little Langjun has always been filial, and his 'temperament' is good, and the most important thing is that he is a member of the Ruan family, even if Zhuo Fanghua loves his son, can he wronged his relatives and nieces and nephews who have a blood relationship with him? And it's a niece and daughter who was born so much like a grandmother?

Aunt is a mother-in-law, Zhuo Zhaojie can suffer a lot less, Zhuo Fanghua will definitely not embarrass his niece and daughter, and Ruan Zhi and Zhuo Fanghua are in love, Zhuo Fanghua has no children for many years after passing the 'door', Ruan Zhi would rather accept a son from the clan to continue the incense, than refuse to accept a concubine and a maid, such a family style, how can Ruan Yunshu treat his wife badly in the future?

Don't look at Ruan Zhi as just a royal history, Ruan Yunshu's identity is not as noble as Ning Shaobi, but as far as the wives in Chang'an City who really love their 'daughters', Ruan Yunshu is the best candidate for 'daughter' in law. In fact, since Ruan Yunshu tied her hair, the 'door' threshold of the Ruan family was about to be broken by the matchmaker - Man Chang'an didn't know how many little ladies were waiting for Zhuo Fanghua to pick and choose, and she took the initiative to propose this marriage, really for the sake of her niece and daughter.

According to You's point of view, this 'door' marriage is also the most suitable, but now it seems that the mother and daughter have only met for a short time, and they have not yet reached the point where they have nothing to say.

Although I had the heart to mention the 'girl' at this moment, but the words came to my mouth a few times, I still swallowed it in the end, and You secretly thought to himself, from now on, I should get along with the young 'girl' more, so I can get rid of the sense of alienation, and mention these things again...... Anyway, Zhuo Zhaojie is not in a hurry to leave the cabinet, although Ruan Yunshu has been crowned, Zhuo Fanghua has not refused to wait for his niece and nephew for a year or two.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Aunt Mao greeted the mother and daughter, and after greetings, she first presented a post, saying, "Princess Yikang's Mansion has a post." ”

You said: "Hey, this year's 'Spring' banquet has been advanced? In previous years, it would be March - but how did you get the post to our room? While opening the other side, he explained to Zhuo Zhaojie, "Princess Yikang is a young 'girl' in today's school, ten years older than you, she likes to be lively, especially peonies, and every time before and after the peony 'flower' meeting, she has to invite guests...... It's just that she has always only invited young men and women who have not left the cabinet. ”

Jing You, who spoke, also finished reading the invitation, and said with a smile, "I thought it was the post of the big room or the third room that was sent to the wrong place, it turns out that the princess is well-informed, and this invitation is for you." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was curious: "Mine? "I took the invitation from You's hand, and sure enough, the dragon and phoenix danced in the post and invited her to participate in the 'spring' banquet held in the princess's garden three days later, and it also reminded that the banquet would last for several days, and the princess's garden had a place to live, so she only needed to bring a change of clothes.

You said: "Originally, your step-grandmother said that she was going to set up a banquet for you, and I met the little ladies who knew Chang'an, but now there is an invitation to the princess's 'spring' banquet...... Almost all the little ladies will go to the princess banquet, which is much more complete than our family, and the companions you know in it are just invited to the house to be familiar with it. ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but glance at the reminder in the post twice, and said suspiciously: "Do you want to spend the night?" "Although it is a banquet held by the princess, you can't 'mess around', but this princess Yikang only invites unmarried people...... It's a stay again......

"Since you said that you have prepared a place to live, I'm afraid there will be a night garden or something, and this year's banquet is early, it is estimated that the princess has a new peony that blooms early and wants to invite someone to play." You glanced at the post and said, "It's good to ask someone to bring a few more sets of dresses to change." ”

Seeing that Zhuo Zhao's program was suspicious, Aunt Mao smiled first: "Qi Niang doesn't need to worry, Princess Yikang's choice of the princess garden on Leyou Yuan this time is already close, and in previous years, there was a 'spring' banquet in Luoyang." ”

You also said: "Princess Yikang is born 'sexual' and witty and likes to be lively, and there are not many princesses, you go, just act with the sisters - don't worry, the princess only invites unmarried people because this 'spring' banquet is open for a few days, and it is often not in Chang'an, and it is inevitable that there will be a drag on the family, but the princess is considerate." ”

After thinking about it, because the princess's banquet was three days later, I am afraid that Zhuo Zhaojie had not contacted the people of the clan before this, and seeing that the princess was a little nervous, You said to Aunt Mao, "You will go to the big room and the third room in a while, and talk to the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, and ask the sixth mother and the eighth mother to take care of our seven mothers at that time." ”

Aunt Mao nodded and said, "The maid knows." ”

As he was talking, the 'woman' came to report: "Erniang is here." ”

Hou Mansion now has two Erniang, one is Zhuo Fangdian, the other is Zhuo Zhaoli, in order to distinguish, Zhuo Zhaojie's generation of rankings are generally added before a small character - of course, most of them are called Minping Hou and Shen and the like, and the people around them, each room is still directly called the ranking, anyway, Zhuo Zhaoli has been out of the cabinet and rarely comes back.

The second mother who came over at this moment was naturally Zhuo Fangdian, she was from the Shen family, how could the big room and the fourth room look at her unpleasantly, but the You family couldn't drive her away, frowned and said, "Please let her in." ”

Zhuo Fangdian was dressed in a pink skirt, and entered the 'door' with two handmaidens, smiling and greeting with You's, Xu knew that You's didn't welcome him, and opened the 'door' and said: "I heard that the fourth sister-in-law just came back from the eldest sister, and I didn't want to bother here, but because Princess Yikang's invitation came, I thought that Xiao Qiniang had returned to Chang'an, and now I am afraid that I don't know what to prepare for the princess's banquet, so I came to talk to her." ”

She smiled like this, and she looked kind, You couldn't say anything, so she had to say: "But it's bothering my sister, I thought that my sister was familiar with the lord of Jinwang, and it was inconvenient to ask for it, but I entrusted Xiao Liuniang and Xiao Banniang first." ”

Zhuo Fangdian smiled and said: "The fourth sister-in-law's words are outside, although I am familiar with the lord of Jinwang, it is impossible that I don't have time to take care of Xiao Qi Niang!" What's more, it's not time to leave yet, what's the matter with Xiao Qi Niang saying a few words about the things to prepare for the banquet? ”

You knew that she was cunning, and he didn't worry that she and Zhuo Zhaojie would go back to Jinghonglou, so he smiled and said: "That's bothering you, it just so happens that I also plan to prepare it for Xiao Qi Niang, I will ask someone to write it down here, so that she won't forget it on the way back." ”

Zhuo Fangdian smiled slightly, and didn't say whether to go to Jinghonglou or not, and really reminded him to go to the place to pay attention to at the princess's banquet......

After she finished speaking, it was almost dinner, although You didn't want to keep her to eat, and she had to be polite, Zhuo Fangdian said with a smile: "Usually the fourth sister-in-law stays for dinner, I don't dare not disobey, but today my mother specially made a few small dishes for me, I can't miss it, but I can only live up to the fourth sister-in-law's wishes." ”

You didn't really keep her, so she couldn't ask for it, so she hurriedly said: "Since my mother specially prepared food for my sister, I didn't dare to rob my sister from my mother." ”

Zhuo Fangdian smiled and floated away.

When she left, she happened to meet Zhuo Fangli with Zhuo Zhaocui and Zhuo Zhi'an, and naturally wanted to greet each other, Zhuo Fangli was very cold to this young girl, and asked her meaning lightly. The implication is to blame her for many things.

Zhuo Fangdian was unimpressed with his attitude, and said with a smile: "I see that Xiao Balang is very busy with his father going to school, and it just so happens that I am free, so I came to talk to Xiao Qi Niang." ”

She always greeted people with such a smile, although Zhuo Fangli didn't like her, she couldn't say anything worse, and let out a faint oh.

After dinner, everyone took the tea and rinsed their mouths, and Zhuo Fangli said, "Zhaojie." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was busy sitting down, and Zhuo Fangli advised: "Princess Yikang's banquet, I'm afraid your sister-in-law is going to keep an eye on you, you must be vigilant." ”

"Yes!" Zhuo Zhaojie nodded, Zhuo Fangdian was so enthusiastic about herself, judging from the relationship between Sifang and Shen's mother and son, it was really abnormal, and she also felt that there was fraud in it without Zhuo Fangli's reminder.

Zhuo Fangli said again: "If she must introduce you to Xiaolangjun to know, don't pay attention to it." ”

When he came back from the Ruan family, the You family vaguely mentioned the marriage with the Ruan family, and now Zhuo Fangli reminded him again...... Zhuo Zhaojie was depressed in his heart and said, "Yes." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Fangli pondered for a moment, and added: "Don't pay attention to any secluded place she wants to take you to, Princess Lin Yuan is a big place, although there are 'attendants' patrolling 'attendants' among them, but it is inevitable that there will be no people's places, and she is careful with her secret hand!" continued, "You don't see that she is your aunt, and she treats you warmly, after all, it is the Shen family, and our big house and four rooms have always been at odds with each other, she can't wait to get close to you, she must have a plan, you should be cautious, don't be deceived by her appearance!" ”

"............" Zhuo Zhaojie was speechless, and replied, "Yes." ”

………… Do I look so easy to deceive?

Zhuo Zhaojie was secretly depressed.
