"Mother, there is one thing, my daughter-in-law originally wanted to report it."

Xiao Xie suddenly changed the topic, the old princess was a little unable to come back to her senses, and Xie Shizi and his wife were also slightly stunned.

Yi Jing and Yu Feng glanced at each other, and both raised the corners of their lips lightly, obviously, the two had guessed the words in Xiao Xie's stomach.

Sure enough, Yijing immediately received a "proud" look from Xiao Xie's family, and heard her say: "Zhou'er's marriage has already been seen. ”

The old princess only felt suddenly, so she didn't think much about her words: "Really? Is anyone willing to marry us? ”

Yijing rubbed his eyebrows, alas, how bumpy Yuzhou's marriage is.

Xiao Xie was choked by these words, and felt even more sulky, her son was wise and brave, if it weren't for the noble concubine Zhiniang, where would it be to the point of making people pick and choose! It's easy to hold back the anger, and glance at the beautiful scenery again - and wait and see, I'm not afraid that you will be in schadenfreude at this time, stand out for Zhiniang, and wait for the future Houfu Qi Niang to enter the door, when you are embarrassed, that is your serious cousin, if you help a concubine, I am afraid that Mrs. Houfu will not be happy, she is your grandmother, and you can only be next to you!

Xiao Xie has inquired, Huang Qiniang is clever and well-behaved, and she is very favored by Mrs. Houfu.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Xie's heart felt better, and there was a faint smile on his face: "She is the daughter of the third master of Jianning Houfu, and she is seven in the family, and she is as famous as Jing Yatou, and is praised by the Queen Mother as the seventh mother of the Huang family in Shuanghua, Kyoto." ”

The old princess knew that Xiao Xie's family was running around for Yuzhou's marriage and was repeatedly rejected, and she also said that this grandson's marriage was difficult, and she was worried, so she was only surprised: "This is a good thing, Jianning Houfu is the in-law of the Weiguo Mansion, if it is the daughter of Houfu, isn't it a cousin with Jing Yatou?" ”

Xiao Xie glanced at his brother and sister-in-law's face again, and saw that Xie Shizi was no longer smiling, and Mrs. Xie was also full of chagrin, and her heart became more and more proud, she actually felt that this family affair was very beneficial.

The voice became more and more brisk: "The daughter-in-law also feels good, she has talked with the third wife of Houfu a few times, she also belongs to Zhou'er in her heart, and she is trying to please her mother, I heard that Qi Niang and Jing Yatou have been friends, Jing Yatou should know Qi Niang's temperament, the most gentle and virtuous, with the praise of the Queen Mother, her talent is naturally good." ”

Yi Jing smiled gracefully: "Ah Yue and I are close in age, and I used to come to the Guogong Mansion often, and I am indeed familiar with her. ”

It's just acquaintance, not friendship, but the old princess and Xiao Xie both ignored the meaning of Yi Jing's words, the topic turned, Xiao Xie began to praise Huang Jiangyue, and the atmosphere of Rongxi Hall was completely eased, but Xie Shizi didn't want to listen more after all, thinking that the purpose of coming to the palace today for his daughter had been achieved, so he went to the front yard with Yu Feng, Mrs. Xie was not good at interfering with Yu Zhou's family affairs, and gradually felt embarrassed. Of course, Aunt Zhi, who was even more embarrassed, also got up to say goodbye, but Mrs. Xie didn't let her go to Guan Suiyuan with her, and sent her away with the sentence "You are not well, go back and rest".

"Today's incident has made the princess see a joke." While walking towards Guan Sui Yuan, Mrs. Xie apologized and said, today she was watching from the side, Xiao Xie was not as proud as before in front of the old princess, the old princess seemed to be more partial to the princess, and then realized that no matter how the old princess took care of her mother's family, Yu Feng was her grandson, and her heart was the most important, even if she loved the house and Wu, she would be better for the eldest granddaughter-in-law, and the princess was a smart and clever, long-sleeved and good dancer, and it was easy to coax the old princess to laugh.

In the end, this is the Chu Palace, and Yu Dong's family wants to be independent after all, but it is only a matter of three or two years.

Not to mention that Xiao Xie's family is already on the verge of turning against them, even if it is still like the beginning, once the mansion is divided, where can Yu Dong be as powerful as the Chu Palace?

As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Xie didn't dare to stand up to her elders in front of Yijing, so she changed her honorific title.

"Family, if there are any jokes or not, aunt don't have anything to do with me, just rely on my grandmother and call me Jing girl." Yijing intended to get closer to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie was surprised and happy when she saw the beautiful scenery, so she simply took her hand and explained carefully: "There are some things that my aunt will not hide from you, when Zhi Niang and Erlang had such a thing, I was also annoyed in my heart, and I blamed Zhi Niang herself...... But the prince of the world thought of Zhi Niang's biological mother's affection, and he was already partial to Zhi Niang, and Erlang was indeed wrong...... Let Zhi Niang be a concubine, it is also a last resort, I heard about the avoidance of the child soup, how can the prince not be angry, but the prince also understands that Zhi Niang is a concubine after all, and when Erlang has a wife in the future, the rules that should be followed must still be followed, and she will not be allowed to be willful. ”

This is because he is worried that after Yijing learns that Houfu Qi Niang is going to marry Yu Zhou, Jie Huai Zhiniang has the support of her mother's family, and she will be disrespectful to the main room in the future.

Mrs. Xie really thought about it, Yijing didn't care about Huang Jiangyue's situation at all, and besides, in her opinion, Zhiniang's temperament was not arrogant, and she couldn't fight Huang Jiangyue at all.

But of course, you have to admit it: "The third sister has a gentle temperament, where can she be willful, and although the third sister is a concubine, she can have a pleasant grade, as long as she follows the rules and etiquette, others dare not criticize her." ”

Mrs. Xie took this as a politeness, and did not think deeply, but tentatively mentioned another thing: "There is one more thing for today's intention, the tenth day of the first month of the next month is the father-in-law's birthday, although it is not the whole life, the grandfather of the country is used to being lively, the prince wants to put a few tables of wine banquets, invited the stage play, and invited good relatives and friends to accompany the grandfather of the country for a day, the old princess agreed to go to the fun that day, but I don't know if Feng'er is free, he is a cabinet bachelor, and he is afraid that he will not be able to leave due to busy official business." ”

In recent years, the Zhenguo Mansion has lost its prestige, but the Zhenguo Mansion is very keen on celebrating his birthday, and he has to do it every year, and he can't invite relatives and friends, but including the King of Chu, most of them are courtesy, and find excuses not to go to the banquet, even if Yu Feng returned from Jizhou, he only went to socialize with the old princess, and said goodbye after his birthday.

Yi Jing thought that since Yu Feng wanted to "pick" the three rooms of the Zhenguo Mansion for separate liquidation, he should not hold a grudge against the rest of the uncles, but he was a little cold by nature, in the past, because of Xiao Xie's prodding, Xie Shizi was thinking about marrying a daughter to him, which made Yu Feng a little disgusted, but at this time, it was no longer like the beginning, to make Yu Dong completely lose the Zhenguo Mansion to rely on - although this fallen princess family has no power, but one thing, they are enough to influence the old princess, Therefore, Yi Jing wanted to provoke Xie Shizi and Xiao Xie to turn against each other, so as not to let them and Yu Dong be sincere.

After this time, the pick-and-answer has already achieved initial results, and if they show favor to the Zhenguo Mansion again, they should know what is good or bad.

Yijing doesn't expect the Zhenguo Mansion to help anything, and it will be good not to cause chaos in the future.

So he agreed for Yu Feng: "No matter how busy he is, he has to go to pay his uncle's birthday." ”

These words are like a "holy decree" to Mrs. Xie, not to mention looking at it coldly today, Yu Feng treats Yijing very seriously, and Yijing is not a rash person, and she will never agree to be so simple if she is not sure, although she only says birthday in her words, but this year Yu Feng will not kowtow and leave.

With the prince of Chu sitting at the banquet, those who look down on the Zhenguo Mansion will also restrain a little.

"Not to mention the eldest uncle, even the grandmother loves to be lively, so it is better to let the uncle work harder, and set up a few more seats this year, in addition to relatives and friends, and invite some mansions that have always been in contact, such as Wei Xiang's mansion...... Ah, by the way, the saint has given marriage, Wei Qiniang's good things are near, I am about to go to add makeup to her, and then the prophet will call Mrs. Wei, and my aunt will let someone send the post. "The scenery is full of interest.

Mrs. Xie was even more pleasantly surprised, in fact, she and Mrs. Wei had basically finalized the decision to be in-laws of their children, this time the Zhenguo Gong celebrated his birthday, of course, the Wei family was invited, and Mrs. Wei would naturally come to the banquet.

There is such an explicit hint from Yijing, Mrs. Xie did not hesitate, and discussed with Xie Shizi when she went back: "In my opinion, Feng's daughter-in-law is a simple person, and her mind is also transparent, how long has she been in the door, and my aunt will treat her as a granddaughter. ”

Xie Shizi also felt that Yu Feng treated him differently today, and when he heard this, he frowned slightly: "Could it be that Feng'er has any plans?" ”

"What else can I plan, I must want Jing'er to take charge of the king's mansion...... If it weren't for the fact that there was no one in the Chu Mansion to manage the inner house, the brother-in-law should have established a mansion a long time ago, and the clan was not like an ordinary nobleman, how could he still let him live in the palace all the time. Mrs. Xie said: "It's not that I don't help my sister-in-law, over the years, for her affairs, how many good things we have said in front of my aunt, the prince wanted to ask the queen mother to give a female official to help my aunt take care of family affairs, this is not unavoidable, the princess of the previous dynasty is in the outer mansion, who will personally control the feed, and not all the female officials around him help to operate." In this way, the brother-in-law should establish a mansion, he is the title of the general of the town, and he cannot be trusted, Fenglu is as rich as the palace, less than one-third, with the sister-in-law's ability, I am afraid that I will not be able to make ends meet, my aunt originally moved, not thanks to us to speak for my sister-in-law, my aunt dispelled the idea, the prince is a filial son, unwilling to disobey my aunt, so I have to cover the sky with my sister-in-law, for more than ten years, my sister-in-law does not know how much palace assets she has greedy. ”

The clan is not as good as the side family, there is no division of the family, Yu Dong is a mansion, it is funded by the royal family, and the Lutian Sacrificial Mansion is distributed according to the system, he has no right to divide the property of the Chu Palace, Yu Dong is not trusted by the Son of Heaven, his connections are limited, and the management of the general affairs is not as smooth as the King of Chu, Xiao Xie is even more of a person who only knows pleasure, and he has long been accustomed to luxury in food and clothing, but he relies on the Fenglu given by the royal family, but he is afraid that it is not easy to feed the house slaves, how can it be as luxurious as today.

When Yu Dong dies in the future, Yu Zhou will not attack the lord, and the Fenglu of the idle clan will be even more meager.

Yu Dong and his wife were reluctant to set up a mansion, on the one hand, because of the conspiracy that Xie Shizi did not know, and on the other hand, because they coveted the luxury of the life of the palace.

The king of Chu may not be unaware, but he is too lazy to worry about Xiao Xie's for these external objects.

"Let's just say that my aunt asked for the title of county king for her brother-in-law, isn't it also a good thing that the prince said, although it didn't work out later, it was also because the saint and the queen mother were not allowed, and we did our best, but my sister-in-law didn't think of us at all, listening to what she said today, I really felt chilled." Mrs. Xie saw that Xie Shizi was silent, and let out a long sigh: "Moreover, now that Feng'er has married a wife, Jing'er's identity is so noble, that is, the queen mother regards her as a palm bead, even if the sister-in-law is unwilling, how can she still hold the middle feed and not return it, the sister-in-law's temperament has offended Jing'er completely early, of course people do not allow them to sit in the palace and enjoy their success, even if the aunt takes care of us, Feng'er is her grandson in the end, even if we speak for the sister-in-law, it may not be useful." ”

"Back then, we had offended the prince for the sake of my sister-in-law, and the situation at home, the prince also knew, not to mention anything else, if Siniang's marriage was not transferred from Jing'er this time, how could it be so smooth, they didn't care about the past, we also had to know how to stop in moderation, if Feng'er proposed the matter of feeding in the future, we can't interfere anymore." Mrs. Xie said bitterly: "Lord Shizi, are you willing to be so depressed?" If the prince and Feng'er have the heart to help, it is not difficult to find an errand, you have to think about our sons, they will participate in the imperial examination in the future, or have the opportunity to enter the office, but if Feng'er has the heart to suppress ......"

Xie Shizi finally closed his eyes, and only said in a half-loud voice: "For so many years, I have done enough for her, when my mother gave her all her dowry, I didn't even say a word, she didn't care about her brother and sister, and she couldn't complain about me." ”

Mrs. Xie finally let out a long breath, with a smile on her face, and cooked a sumptuous dinner for Xie Shizi herself.
