The undercurrent in the palace is turbulent, and the Taifu Mansion is full of joy - following the news of the pregnancy of the third daughter-in-law Wei Changying, who has only passed the 'door' this year, and after the famous doctor Ji went to the home to confirm that she was pregnant with a little son, there was another good news in the mansion on this day: among the heirs of the saint who recalled the imperial capital for the festival this year, King Ji was impressively listed.

Shen Xuan and Mrs. Su have a total of eight sons and daughters, but there are only two daughters, and these two 'daughters' are both concubines. There are fewer 'female' children, and there is no shortage of sons, so it is naturally more precious.

What's more, after the eldest 'daughter' Shen Zangxiu married Shen Jiawei, the third son of the saint and the king of Ji, she went to the fief with King Ji only after the full moon after marriage. King Ji's imperial favor was mediocre, and it was almost every few years that he was remembered by the saint and summoned him back to Beijing. Shen Zangxiu naturally had to wait for her husband to return to Beijing and bring her before she had the opportunity to meet her mother's family.

Every year, Mrs. Su is talking about counting on King Ji to be recalled to the imperial capital for the festival, but it is only once in three or five years, and the last time King Ji was recalled was last year, and it is said that it is unlikely that he will be able to see Shen Zangxiu this year - so it is a surprise for the Shen family.

Mrs. Su was overjoyed, and on the one hand, she personally commanded her subordinates to purchase a large number of Shen Zangxiu and King Ji's favorite things, and prepared to entertain the 'daughter' and 'daughter' son-in-law when the time came, but on the other hand, she entered Shen Xuan's study alone and discussed with her husband: "His Royal Highness King Ji is favored by the emperor, and since he went to the fief, even this time the total has been recalled four times. He only came back last year, and he was called back this year, is there some reason for this? ”

Of course, it is a good thing that the eldest 'daughter' can come back to save her relatives, but it happened suddenly, if there is a 'yin' plot in it, Mrs. Su would rather get together again in two years.

Shen Xuan snorted: "Have you forgotten that King Yi's fief is on the side of King Ji's fief? ”

"It turned out that Empress Gu mentioned it?" Mrs. Su frowned slightly, and said, "Does the queen want to use King Ji to remind King Ji to marry King Yi immediately after the New Year, and send him to set off with King Ji to the fiefdom?" ”

"By the way, I will also sell it to our family." Shen Xuan said lightly, "When the time comes, you will talk to Xiu'er in private, and ask her to remind King Ji to be careful not to ask the queen or the concubine to drag him into the water." ”

Mrs. Su was slightly stunned when she heard the name "Xiu'er", but she remembered the intimacy with her husband when she first married, and even after the birth of her eldest 'daughter', Shen Xuan deliberately chose a word in her boudoir name "Xiuman" to show her affection...... Now that they are both grandfathers and grandmothers in a blink of an eye, she was in a trance for a moment before she said: "His Royal Highness King Yi has never been very strong, will he hold a grudge against King Ji and Xiu'er because of this?" ”

Shen Xuanshen 'groaned' and said: "The holy decree has been issued, can we still let them not come?" We'll talk about that then. ”

There is nothing to talk about here, and Mrs. Su turned to her husband to talk about another 'daughter': "After the New Year, Zang Ning is about to be married, and her relatives ......?" ”

Shen Xuan has always been more indulgent to the 'women' because there are more men and fewer 'women' under his knees, and because the eldest 'daughter' is married far away, he rarely sees it, and Shen Zangning is a little 'girl' in front of him, and he is used to being treated as a pearl in his palm. Even last year, Shen Zangning helped Shen Zangfeng steal the "Killing Hu" sword and re-married the family affair he had decided to retire, and Shen Xuan reprimanded him lightly. It was Shen Zangfeng, who was really beaten by Shen Xuan's head and face, if he hadn't had to go to the palace on an errand, Shen Xuan would have the heart to beat him for half a year and not be able to get up......

Of course, Shen Xuan was also very concerned about the lifelong events of such a spoiled 'daughter', and discussed several sons with Mrs. Su. After thinking about it, I felt that I was busy with government affairs, and my 'daughter' was with her mother, and Shen Zangning was my 'daughter', and she was Mrs. Su's biological flesh and blood. Of course, Mrs. Su will not harm the 'girl', so he said: "These people are okay, who is more suitable for Ning'er?" ”

However, Mrs. Su smiled bitterly and said: "In the future, the marriage of the sons and daughters, unless they are like Yuyin, I have watched them grow up." Otherwise, it's up to you to decide! ”

Shen Xuan was surprised: "Why? ”

"Look at Zangzhu and Zanghui." Mrs. Su said bitterly, "This is also due to the magnanimity of the second brother who doesn't care about me, and the marriage of his eldest 'daughter' and eldest son is entrusted to me, and as a result, the marriage of these two children is not smooth!" The conscience of heaven and earth really treats them as if they were my own flesh and bones, but the final result is always unsatisfactory...... I guess maybe I'm not blessed enough? So it's up to you. ”

Shen Xuan was stunned when he heard this, thinking of the experience of being angry with Mrs. Su when he learned that his nephew and daughter-in-law were not virtuous, he calmed down and thought about it, and also felt that his wife was a little wronged, so he said gently: "I can't blame you all, I was also a little anxious before." I think it's destined in the dark, right? ”

Although Shen Xuan comforted his wife, this kind of thing would rather be believed or not, not to mention that it is related to the life of the most beloved little 'daughter'. Therefore, Shen Xuankuan relieved Mrs. Su a few words, and still felt that Shen Zangning's marriage was up to him. The husband and wife said a few words to the other sons and daughters, and Shen Xuan said: "Feng'er is now far away in Xiliang, no one in the third room takes care of it, and Wei's is pregnant again, so you can pay more attention to Feng'er." ”

Mrs. Su said, "Do you still need to say this?" I'm going to send the whole building to the temple almost every other day. He also said, "Fortunately, the Wei family invited Ji Qubing to give her a baby, and the Huang family, the companion of Wei's side, was taught by Ji Quai. ”

Shen Xuan said: "Last time, you said that Wei's baby was a male grandson? ”

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Su smiled slightly, "This 'girl' of the Wei family is really blessed." ”

"Now we all have a grandson." Shen Xuan stroked his beard, he was in a good mood, and said happily, "This is our second grandson, and he is another grandson." Shi'er's wives and concubines only gave birth to three granddaughters for us, not that the granddaughters are not good, but there is no male grandson in the second room so far, which is not reassuring! Before, I was most afraid that Feng'er, like Shi'er, would also have difficulties in terms of heirs, and it would inevitably be attacked by those people because of this. Now I am relieved! ”

Mrs. Su's mind changed for a moment, and she said, "My husband is very worried, and Shi'er has no heirs so far. Even if there is no son-in-law, there should be a concubine to inherit the heir...... So, while he is resting during the New Year, shall I choose some people for him to serve? ”

Shen Xuan was very satisfied with his wife's concern for the concubine: "You can call the shots about these." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "When the Wei family is full of confinement after giving birth, you can let the Liu family and the Duanmu family take a break, and let her take care of this family." After all, although there is Shu Ming in the big house, there are not many heirs, so let the eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law be idle, so that we can spread out more. ”

Mrs. Su knew that this was to give birth to a male grandson through Wei Changying, and officially 'handed' the Taifu Mansion to Wei Changying to take care of it, and the so-called opening of branches and leaves was just a decent statement for the Liu family and the Duanmu family. This also means that Ming Peitang began to focus on cultivating the third room - of course she was happy to see it, and nodded: "I think so too." ”

As soon as the husband and wife agreed, Mrs. Su acted resolutely, first taking advantage of Wei Changying's pregnancy, and talked about the heirs when the Liu family and the Duanmu family were in front of her. The Liu family listened to this, in the end, Shen Shuming, the only grandson of the Taifu Mansion, was born to her, even if Mrs. Su said that the heirs in the family are not rich, the Liu family also has the Duanmu family...... Even if Wei Changying gave birth to the eldest son of the third room, the Liu family still has an eldest 'daughter' Shen Shujing as a foil!

Fidgeting is Duanmu Yanyu, originally she gave birth to two 'daughters' in a row, and the 'servant' concubine also gave birth to a 'girl' child, and the 'waiter' concubine who was confirmed to be pregnant with a male fetus had a miscarriage, which had already made her husband and her husband's biological mother very unhappy. That time, because Shen Yongshi listened to the words of his biological mother Guo, he had a fierce attack for a while, and Duanmu Yanyu took out the evidence that the 'waiter' concubine was afraid of being punished after the miscarriage, so she slandered herself, which made Mrs. Su stand on her side.

As a result, even the mother-in-law is now dissatisfied with the heirs of the second room...... Duanmu Yan's words were full of sorrow, but the second grandson, Miss Shen Shurou, was already seven years old, and the youngest of the grandchildren, the fourth grandson, Miss Shen Shuyan, was also five years old - the second room has now had two concubines and three 'girl' children, but there is no boy yet. Even if Duanmu Yanyu's mother's family is here, it can't be said that Shen Yong really shouldn't fill the backyard.

Duanmu Yanyu knew that her mother-in-law's words today were simply for herself, so she had to take the initiative to give her husband a concubine to prolong the heirs - after all, the meaning of her mother-in-law was already very obvious, and this addition was not something she didn't want at all, so it was better to be generous.

Mrs. Su was very satisfied with her attitude, so she asked, "Do you have a candidate?" ”

Duanmu Yan said: "The husband has no children under his knees, and the previous Cui Qiao is ...... Every time I think about it, my daughter-in-law also feels that it is because she is not virtuous enough. So after Cuiqiao gave birth, the daughter-in-law also found some people, but the husband was busy with business at the time, and the daughter-in-law had to take care of Rou'er and them, so she didn't care about mentioning it for a while, and the mother was tired and worried. "Let's talk about the scene first, and then I said, "Mother, how do you see the Hongling and Honglian in front of your daughter-in-law?" ”

Hongling and Honglian are both Duanmu Yanyu's maids, and now they have been promoted to personal ambassadors 'women', in terms of appearance and knowledge, they are good. The point is that their family deeds are all pinched in the hands of Duanmu Yanyu, Duanmu Yanyu gave the two of them to her husband, and she is not afraid of what 'waves' and 'flowers' they will turn out - in fact, the Shen family would not allow the spoiled concubine to kill his wife, but Duanmu Yanyu has been childless for many years after entering the 'door', and knows that from her husband to her husband's biological mother Guo Shi is not looking forward to the heir, if the 'servant' concubine makes a mistake after giving birth to a child, it will be a troublesome thing after all.

And she doesn't say who is the candidate, in case Mrs. Su directly rewards people, it will be even more difficult to control.

Duanmu Yanyu thought that it should be enough to be a quiet 'servant' concubine with the talent of the ambassador 'girl' around her, and her mother-in-law is not her husband's biological mother, so she can pass the scene?

Originally, she was not wrong in this idea, if Mrs. Su wanted to care about the concubine's heir, the concubine's wife would be able to take advantage of the situation. But Shen Zangfeng's eldest son has been settled, and Shen Yongshi still has no children - this is Shen Xuanmen, of course Mrs. Su has to be extra concerned.

So at this moment, after listening to Duanmu Yanyu's words, he bowed his head slightly and said: "Hongling and Honglian are your dowry envoys, and they have been waiting in front of you since they entered the 'door', and now they are given to Shi'er, and I don't think there will be anything wrong." Duanmu Yanyu's heart was sour and relieved, and she was about to speak, but she didn't expect Mrs. Su to say again, "But now that the New Year is approaching, there are more people, I'll add two more to you, and you can clean up the four rooms." ”

asked someone to bring in two young 'women' with beautiful eyebrows and eyes from outside, "This is the person I asked Mama Tao to pick two days ago, they are all from Gyeonggi people's families, and there are many brothers in the family, so it is also suitable for men to come." ”

Duanmu Yanyu was stunned for two breaths, and was pushed by the messenger 'girl' next to him before remembering to thank him.
