Xiao Xie handed over the dowry list, and calculated the meticulousness of the banquet, and handed it over to a few companions of the Shan family, she just had to put the total, and there was nothing to be busy with, and the banquet was set up in the palace, and the regulatory process was responsible for the long history department, and the banquet preparation also had a meal, and the ceremonial music and dance were managed by the subordinate officials such as the classical music and the ceremonies, and Xiao Xie was not worried that these subordinate officials would be slow down, so they held a banquet in the palace, and they always had to take into account the clan system.

This is the advantage of the "middle feed" of the prince's mansion from ordinary aristocratic housewives, involving etiquette, there are subordinate officials to help handle it, everything is done according to the rules of etiquette, no need to do it yourself, happy and leisurely.

She found a "busy" reason to go out today, but in fact, she was instructed by Yu Dong to visit Xie Mansion in the outer city.

Although Yu Dong complained that the third master only cared about his own interests and rashly turned his face with the Zhenguo brothers, he still planned to maintain good relations with the third master, not to mention that the third master knew his selfishness, even if it was for the sake of the Nian family, the gold owner, he still had to envelop this uncle.

So let Xiao Xie come to the door with a gift box to congratulate the third master on his "housewarming".

Although the house in the outer city is a little secluded, it was only renovated at the beginning of the year, and the area is not narrow, but this can not comfort the anger of the third master and the Nian's rolling, in front of Xiao Xie's family, the Nian's scolded the Zhenguo brothers, and said that they would never give up, and when they contacted Enyibo, they had to kill the Guogong Mansion to seek justice.

Xiao Xie got Yu Dong's instructions, and he didn't dare to participate in it, that is, he was just a promise.

After listening to the grumbling and cruel words for most of the day, Xiao Xie's happy mood was somewhat affected, and he was a little depressed when he returned.

There are no detailed words, but there is only one result - the princess is skillful, full of etiquette and patriarchal laws, and uses the reputation of the clan to talk about things, and persuades the old princess to let the second room take care of herself and marry.

It was already late autumn evening, and the wind was getting cooler, but Xiao Xie was so angry by this bad news that his blood was boiling.

But the Shan family also sighed repeatedly: "In vain, Mrs. has worked hard all these years, and painstakingly took care of the middle feed, in the end, it is still not as good as the princess of the world, the prince and the prince have been given holy favors, this year to the Luyin in the Touguang Palace, not to mention the tributes from all over the country, there are a lot of rewards on the New Year's Festival, not to mention the income of those industries, how much can Erlang's dowry cost, but the small instrument is so narrow, and the princess, regardless of the marriage of the Guogong Mansion, it is said that the fiefdom of Guangping is a large sum, and hundreds of thousands are like a drop in the bucket for her. Even if the old princess ignores trivial matters, can she not know? In the end, it is still eccentric. ”

Xiao Xie saw that the windfall that he had captured was about to fly with his wings, he was already indignant and full of grievances, and when he heard this, he was even more red in his eyes, where was he willing, he first jumped in the Lixiang Courtyard to vent, and he still felt that the raging anger rushed to the heavenly spirit, and he couldn't hold it back, and he rushed to Rongxi Hall without careful thought at all.

In fact, over the years, she has been extremely favored in front of the old princess, the king of Chu is an uncle, and it is not good to deal with his younger brother-in-law, Yu Feng is even more unlikely to argue with his aunt, Xiao Xie has been indulged in the wind and rain, and he has long been unable to find his position, this time he is really angry again, where is there still reason, the word "forbearance" that Yu Dong repeatedly instructed has long been burned by anger, and he just wants to mess around and spill it to vent.

When he arrived at Rongxi Hall, and heard that Yijing came to sit with the old princess after taking a nap today, Xiao Xie snorted coldly, his eyes were full of hatred, and he broke in in stride.

coincided with An Ran and An Jin's sisters, two of whom came to Rongxi Hall to say hello, during this time, because of the beautiful scenery mediated, the old princess's attitude towards the two granddaughters has changed greatly, An Jin is a clever person, driven by the beautiful scenery, the words are gradually lively, although An Ran is still as chaste as ever, but the demeanor is much more than from the front, and then not afraid of the head, the old princess only feels happy in her eyes, this will be the grandchildren and grandchildren gathered together, talking happily.

Suddenly, a "Lei Mother" came, and she shouted at the An Ran sisters with a solemn expression: "Get out!" ”

The two little ladies who were like flowers and jade were instantly colorless, and "evaporated" without saying a word.

The old princess was also stunned, and the beautiful scenery was even more "shocked", and she snuggled up to the old princess with a frightened face, and even got up to salute and forgot to be "frightened".

Before the old princess could come back to her senses, Xiao Xie stepped forward, two eyebrows, a pair of angry eyes, and finally some sense, and did not go straight to the "pretending" villain's hand, between the opening and closing of the two dark green lips, the spit splashed: "Jing girl, do you dare to pick fault in front of the elder?" How long has it been since you got married, and you dare to make a discord in your family? This is a seven-out offense, don't think that relying on the power of your mother's family, you dare to do anything wrong in the palace, no matter how noble you are, you should also know that your husband's family is a royal family! ”

Xiao Xie has been holding back these words for a long time, at that time, Yijing has not yet reached Xuan, just because Yu Dong's father and son are thinking of marrying the Su family, Xiao Xie's family has already regarded her as an imaginary enemy, thinking that Yijing will rely on the prestige of the Guogong Mansion to drive on her as a "mother-in-law".

Yi Jing "praised" Xiao Xie in his heart - this temperament is too cute, and his unscrupulous words are really an excellent quality worthy of praise.

Since he would not collide with Xiao Xie's family, he only buried his face in the handkerchief that he quickly took out, and choked up when he fell into the arms of the old princess: "Grandmother, I said that the second aunt will definitely blame me......"

"You still dare the wicked to sue first!" Xiao Xie was furious, if it weren't for Zhu Mama stepping forward to persuade her, she would have rushed up to do it.

The old princess was shocked, but she didn't come back to her senses, and directly transitioned to anger, and saw how well-behaved and lively Yijing used to be, this time she was so frightened that her eyes were pitiful, and she added a handful of dry wood under her anger, first patted Yijing's shoulder comfortingly, and raised her face to be full of frost: "What nonsense!" Dare to bully people in front of me, and if there are any elders, do you still know that this is in the palace? Do you still know that you are a royal family member? It's really unseemly! ”

When Xiao Xie heard this, he covered his face and cried: "Mother, are you partial, can it be that I have worked hard all these years, and I can't compare to Jing Yatou's mouth to please ......" His legs were weak, and he sat down in the circle chair on the side, crying so much that his liver and intestines were broken.

Seeing her niece so sad, the old princess's anger disappeared a little, and she softened her tone slightly: "Don't cry, family, if you have anything to say, alas, the second daughter-in-law, it's not me who said you, but also the person who is about to have a daughter-in-law, her temperament has not diminished at all, and she hasn't figured out whether it's black and white. ”

Yijing pretended to be pitiful for a while, and no longer coquettish, quietly took out another dry silk handkerchief in his sleeve, wiped his teary eyes that were scented with mint sesame oil, and first stepped forward to bend his knees at Xiao Xie, who was still and crying bitterly on the desk: "Second aunt to dissipate her anger, even if I have it, the second aunt will teach it well......"

Of course, Xiao Xie knew that Yijing was pretending, and his heart became more and more angry, and raising his hand was a slap-

Although she didn't dare to get an axe in front of people who practiced martial arts, she wouldn't let Xiao Xie take it seriously, and stumbled to the side, but her arm was swept by Xiao Xie's fingertips.

The old princess's anger suddenly jumped straight to the door of her head, slapped the case, pointed at Xiao Xie's index finger and trembled, and couldn't say a word in half a voice.

Yijing was also worried that the old princess would be angry, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and persuaded her tightly: "Grandmother, don't worry, the second aunt is also angry for a while, and she didn't hit me." He said to Xiao Xie: "No matter how angry the second aunt is, she should calm down first, just like grandmother's words, discuss something slowly...... I know that the second aunt is in a hurry because of the second brother's marriage, but about the next hiring, it does involve the law of the clan, and I have been blunt about what I should say. ”

"What kind of reason, what kind of clan law, the uncle inherited the throne, and Ke Zhou'er is also a descendant of the palace...... Mother, it's not that I'm greedy for these two money, I'm really unhappy, why should the benefits go to Uncle and Feng'er, isn't the second master his father's flesh and blood? Even if the concubine is out and changed to another family, the concubine can also divide the family property, the second master is not greedy for these, but it is Zhou'er's marriage, why can't the palace bear the dowry? ”

This nonsense may not be able to make the old princess dizzy in the past, but today there is already a beautiful scene analysis in front of her, this time I saw Xiao Xie so domineering, in front of her, I dared to do something to my granddaughter-in-law, even if the old princess was confused, she would not admit this crooked reason, first pulled Yijing and still sat on the Luo Han bed, and asked softly: "Really not fighting?" ”

Xiao Xie was almost so angry that he fell down.

But before she could speak again, the old princess was already glaring at her fiercely: "The title and family business of the palace are inherited by the eldest son, that is the patriarchal!" The second child is a concubine, but how have I treated him as a concubine over the years? You touch your conscience and think about it! The second knighthood has also been for nearly 20 years, and the expenses should be used, is it borne by the palace? How could I have considered these things with the prince, but Dong'er has always been the general of Zhenguo, canonized by the heavenly family, and led the clan of tribute, you marry the eldest daughter-in-law, can you let your brother give a dowry? Not to mention the founding of Dalong, if you think about the history of Dongming for hundreds of years, has there ever been such a precedent? I was fooled by you, and I agreed without thinking about it, thanks to Jing'er's timely reminder, otherwise if it spread, wouldn't others laugh at Dong'er and you for a little selfish gain, and even the face of the royal family was not taken into account! ”

When the old princess said this, her eyes were also red: "Dong'er is the flesh and blood of the prince, as my mother-in-law, have I ever treated him badly?" Not to mention Zhou'er and Xiang'er, who were born so big, I watched them grow up, don't I feel sorry for them? I have always treated them as my own grandson, you say I am biased, I also admit it, Feng'er is my own grandson, it is not good to play a small body, what is wrong with me partializing him, think about yourself, is it like Zhou'er and Xiang'er? ”

Xiao Xie never thought that the old princess would say such righteous words, and he was stunned for a while, although he felt that his heart was burning, but he couldn't make sense.

Only then did he regret a little, he shouldn't be angry and didn't choose to speak, he consciously handed over the handle and stepped forward, and gritted his teeth with hatred for the beautiful scene of "digging pits and trapping".

As soon as this arrogance decreased, grievances swelled up, and Xiao Xie's tears couldn't be contained.

The old princess suddenly felt aggrieved, and shed tears: "That's it, there is nothing to argue about in this matter, I also know that you are planning for Zhou'er's future, to be a mother, how can you not be partial, but you can't ignore the rules and regulations, don't mention this matter in the future, family, don't fall into trouble because of money." ”

Xiao Xie thought that his dream had come to naught, and his tears were even more turbulent.

At this moment, as soon as the curtain was lifted, Yan'er entered the house to report: "The prince and the second master are here, and they have been standing outside for a while, and they don't dare to disturb ......."

As soon as Xiao Xie heard this, he came to his senses completely, knowing that he had done something wrong again this time, and he didn't know how Yu Dong would reprimand, after all, he was still from a beautiful background, and he knew that it would only be embarrassing to cry in front of his uncle in this situation, so he gradually accepted his crying.

Yijing had already returned to normal, and stood aside.

The king of Chu looked calm, and sat down as usual, but Yu Dong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground: "Mother, it's all sons who are not filial, just because they were persuaded by their colleagues some time ago, they took their savings and opened a money bank in partnership with others, and they couldn't open it for a while, and Zhou'er's marriage date was set urgently, and the son was helpless, so he asked his wife to ask his mother to promise to buy a dowry from the palace first, and then repay the money and silver to the eldest brother when the turnover came. He glared at Xiao Xie again: "No matter how anxious you are, you shouldn't be unscrupulous, I think you are so lawless because of your mother's consistent favor, and you don't apologize to your mother." ”

The second master is really better than Xiao Xie's family, and he actually thought of such an excuse, Yi Jing was bored in his heart, and looked at the king of Chu, but saw that he frowned slightly, obviously unprepared.

A good situation, but in vain!

Although this is "borrowing", but there is no basis for the words, Yu Dong and his wife are insidious villains, and the word integrity is not worth the weight of a fart for them, and they are really beating dogs.

Xiao Xie was reminded by Yu Dong like this, his resentment disappeared, and he was overjoyed, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground side by side, and couldn't help but glance at Yijing and King Chu.

Speaking of which, the King of Chu has to take care of his siblings, and he can't stand idly by.

Xiao Xie straightened the corners of his lips, and his admiration for Yu Dong arose spontaneously.
