Zhao was so ashamed that he couldn't speak, so he had to nod his head slightly, signaling that he understood.

and signaled to his dowry maid to give Jiang's mother a big red envelope.

After Mama Jiang took the red envelope and thanked the young grandmother for the reward, she put it in her clothes. Then he walked to the bed with his head down without squinting, and pulled out the white handkerchief he had prepared from under the big red brocade quilt.

After carefully identifying it until it was confirmed, she put it in the brocade box held by the little girl who came with her. After saying a few kind words to the Zhao family, he happily reported to the Jiang family.

After Wang Yuze and his wife cleaned up and ate a few bites of breakfast, they left Runze Courtyard one after the other and walked to the middle hall where all the family members gathered.

On the way, in order to take care of the Zhao family, Wang Yuze walked neither fast nor slow.

Zhao followed Wang Yuze as he walked, remembering the way. lest when he comes back later, if Wang Yuze does not accompany him, he will get lost.

It is said that the Hou Mansion is much bigger than the Zhao Mansion, and of course it is much more magnificent.

Rockeries, verandahs, pavilions and pavilions are all complete, all fine.

There are many flowers and trees on both sides of the road, and they are scattered.

Even though it's close to November, it's still green, full of life, and birds fly by from time to time.

"These are put out because of our wedding, and they are usually raised in the flower room." Seeing Zhao's novelty, Wang Yuze kindly explained.

Zhao lowered his head shyly and whispered: "It's weird and rare, it's so good-looking." ”

"When I have time, I'll take you to the flower room for a while. There are many varieties that have been appreciated by the palace. We also followed Baomei to borrow light to plant in the house. Looking at the shyness of his newlywed wife, Wang Yuze's tone of voice was extremely gentle.

Zhao raised his head and asked happily, "Really?" After finishing speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head and added, "If your husband is busy, you can also ask someone else to take me." ”

After Wang Yuze heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he was a little displeased.

This wife is a little too decent. He wanted to get into the relationship between husband and wife before he wanted to accompany her to visit the flower room, but he didn't expect the newlywed wife to say so.

Then he was relieved.

The Zhao family had just entered the Hou Mansion, and they were not familiar with everything here, so they were inevitably a little uncomfortable.

The two are not familiar with each other, and she should be a little restrained.

So he said with a smile: "I'm on vacation these days, and I can accompany you to get acquainted with our Hou Mansion." In addition, our Hou Mansion has a concubine, and you are the first daughter-in-law in this generation to enter the door, and no one may be able to accompany you. If there is anything in the future, you can tell me, or you can ask your mother to talk about it. Our mother is the most easy-going. ”

The husband carefully said and listened to her, and Zhao was naturally very happy in his heart.

So he also smiled at Wang Yuze and nodded "yes".

When they arrived in the middle hall, the old marquis Wang, Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Li, Wang Ziyi and his wife, Wang Zixiao and his wife, Wang Zilian and his wife, and some people with high seniority in the clan had already sat down and were chatting to relieve their boredom.

Wang Yupu and the other sisters-in-law sat on the chairs at the back of the hall. Wang Dalang and other concubines and Wang Erniang and other concubines stood under the hall.

Wang Jibao was held in the arms of Mrs. Hou, and was nodding her little head to make up for sleep, and she got up a little early today for this recognition. Waited and waited and fell asleep in the midst of everyone's small talk. Even so, Li was reluctant to put her aside, preferring to be tired and hugging.

Seeing that the two newcomers had arrived, the maid who opened the curtain immediately opened the curtain and reported inside: "The eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother has arrived!" ”

Everyone stopped talking and looked out the door.

After a while, I saw the two of them walking in happily one after the other.

There were many people here who saw the Zhao family for the first time, so they looked at it carefully.

Zhao's appearance is Zhouzheng, although it is not outstanding, but it is still beautiful. Especially this morning, I deliberately dressed up.

The upper body is wearing a peach blossom cloud smoke shirt, and the bottom is a mopping smoke cage plum blossom water skirt.

The duck hair is coiled into a concentric bun, with a gold-inlaid beaded cloud bat hairpin inserted on it, and some more expensive small hair ornaments as a foil.

Earrings with red jade drop beads. Around his neck he wore a red gold coil.

It seems that the whole person is very magnificent.

In the middle of the nave, two cushions are placed on it. The two of them walked to the mat and knelt down to greet the old marquis first.

A servant woman prepared tea and handed it to Zhao.

Zhao took it and first offered tea to the old marquis Wang.

The old marquis Wang didn't take Qiao, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said a few words of encouragement, then took out two purses from his body and handed them to the two.

From the outside, it doesn't seem to have any weight, and it is either a silver ticket or a house deed, a title deed, or something like that.

Zhao took out the gift prepared for the old marquis from the hand of the maid who followed him, said a few words of blessing, and handed it over with both hands raised.

The old marquis Wang motioned to the maid behind him to take it.

The maid showed it to the old marquis Wang, and after seeing the old marquis nodding his head, he stood behind the old marquis Wang with the gift.

It is a pair of shoes and socks and a pair of white jade Go.

Old Marquis Wang was very satisfied with this, and said with a smile: "Eldest granddaughter-in-law, you and your in-laws have hearts." ”

Next up is Lee's.

Li said some words such as three obedience and four virtues that women should pay attention to, and instructed her to hug her great-grandson as soon as possible.

This sentence made Zhao's shy little face flush. But still nodding yes.

Next, everyone, including Wang Ziyi and his wife, both gave a good meeting gift.

When Wang Jibao arrived, Wang Jibao had already been woken up by Li's pat.

She looked at Zhao with big watery eyes, and said glutinously: "Sister-in-law is good, sister-in-law is so beautiful." ”

Zhao blushed a little.

Zhao handed the shoes, socks and clothes embroidered by Wang Jibao before to Wang Jibao's big girl Vanilla. In addition, Wang Jibao also prepared a gold-inlaid jade collar with sufficient weight and color.

Wang Jibao put out several sets of expensive heads and asked the Zhao family to choose at will.

These faces of hers are all rewarded by the palace, how can there be anything bad.

So Zhao chose a pair of his favorite heads and put them away under Wang Yuze's nod and approval.

This time, everyone was very happy.

After waiting for three days, Zhao returned to his mother's house accompanied by Wang Yuze.

The Marquis of Heshun Mansion also gave a very tyrant in return, which made the Zhao family feel that they had more face.

Zhao had a lot to talk about in front of his mother and sisters, especially about Wang Jibao.

When the spring of the next year begins, the Marquis of Heshun Mansion got a good news.

Wang Yuze's little wife Zhao, who had just passed the door less than half a year ago, was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as pregnant for more than two months.

So far, it also marks the beginning of the new generation of population undertakings of Heshun Houfu.

Wang Jibao children's shoes are also about to enter the ranks of the elders.

It didn't take long for the marriage of Wang Yuhai, the eldest son of the second concubine and the second in the Hou Mansion and already sixteen years old, to be negotiated and put on the agenda.

It is the eldest daughter of the third brother of the second lady Wu's mother's family.

Although the Wu family's family is not a wealthy family, it is just an ordinary official family. But the third brother of the Wu family was born in the list, and now he is the prefect in charge of one party. Because the evaluation is good, it is said that he is expected to return to Beijing at the end of the year to find a good job. Of course, this also needs to be mediated by the Heshun Marquis Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion.

There were many happy events in the Shunhou Mansion, but there was bad news from Prince Jing's Mansion.

Prince Jing's princess died after surviving a winter. left behind his only son, Jing Yi, who was only seven years old.

Because Prince Jing's concubine Wei and Mrs. Hou's Li belong to the younger generation, and the Zhao family in the Houfu juniors is pregnant, the Wang family sent a women's group headed by the Houfu prince's wife, Jiang, supplemented by the second lady Wu and the third lady, and a men's group led by Wang Ziyi's brother, and followed by the older Wang Yuze, Wang Yuhai, and Wang Yupu to mourn.

Later, because the old seventh king Yuting was friendly with Jing Yi, he strongly asked to join the men's group. Eventually, he became an alternate member of the men's team.

Jiang and the others were all dressed in plain clothes, and took the carriage of the Hou Mansion from the second gate to the palace of Prince Jing.

Prince Jing's Mansion is located in the most affluent area of Dayong. It is mostly a place where some royal relatives gather.

The people who can live in this area are either princes, county kings, princesses, etc.

Almost every single one of them occupies the entire street.

When they arrived at the area of Prince Jing's Mansion, the coachmen didn't have to ask, and when they looked at the entire white street, they knew that the people who were handling the funeral here should be Prince Jing's Mansion.

Although Prince Jing is not very reliable, Prince Jing's concubine Wei is in poor health all year round, so she rarely makes friends with the noblewomen outside. However, Prince Jing, as one of the few kings with foreign surnames in Dayong, has a transcendent status in Dayong. Therefore, there are still many noble families who come to mourn.

When they arrived at the second gate, everyone saw that the person in charge of receiving their group of high-status female dependents was Prince Jing's side concubine Xu. There are many people who want to retreat and leave directly.

Jiang suppressed the dislike in his heart because of Jing Yi, and took the initiative to comfort some of the ladies who were good friends with him.

In the end, he led the people of Heshun Hou Mansion to complete a complete set of condolences.

After Jiang and the others came back, they went to Rongqing Hall to report to the old lady Li.

In Li's arms, Wang Jibao, who was almost two years old, sat obediently.

"To say that this Jing Prince's Mansion is really messy enough, a side concubine who can't get on the stage actually came out to be responsible for receiving distinguished guests. This is really when she has become the master of the palace herself. The third lady, Liu, was the first to express her strong dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Li frowned and asked, "What?" It's all over now, Prince Jing still can't tell the difference? ”

Jiang Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe there is no female master in the palace who can really take charge of things, so she will let Concubine Xu come out to Zhang Luo." Anyway, although the Xu family is a concubine, he is also from a famous family. Although the side concubine is not a wife, she is also given by the emperor from the third grade. ”
