Chen Xiuyan's life returned to peace, that is, after three months, she insisted on walking and walking every day, but she didn't go out, but someone came to the door, and the first one to come was Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu came alone, and the first time she came was to take a closer look at the Locke family's mansion, "Yes, it seems that the family background is quite rich." ”

"It's incomparable to Mrs. Wu's family." Chen Xiuyan accompanied her throughout the whole process, and she had accepted Mrs. Wu's poisonous tongue well.

Although the acceptance is good, Chen Xiuyan is already calculating the current family background in her mind, she has been idle for a lot of days because of pregnancy, and the family's source of income is some output, and the autumn harvest is almost over, and the family can get an income.

Daddy, if they are fast, they may already be on the way, Chen Xiuyan is looking forward to it, in the past few days, people have begun to clean up the yard, let them live in the courtyard of the Ming and Qing Dynasties; The courtyard where the eldest sister and their family live is now Zhu Shanfang, Luo Mingchu, and Luo Mingnian, and the two children are usually in the academy, and it is also warm and comfortable for their family to live in one.

"What are you thinking, I'm distracted." Seeing Chen Xiuyan, Mrs. Wu smiled for a while, frowned and thought for a while, and stretched out her hand to shake it in front of her eyes.

"My daddy, they're coming." Chen Xiuyan's words made Mrs. Wu understand, and she felt a little envious in her heart.

Mrs. Wu has a good background, but her father is a military general guarding the south, and she is too far away from here, so she can't usually move around, and she hasn't been back to her parents' house for a few years, and now when she heard that Chen Xiuyan's mother's family was coming, she suddenly felt that the door was low and the benefits were low.

"I heard no, it seems that King Jin stayed in the courtyard of the former princess for a day yesterday." After seeing the house and sitting down in the hall, Mrs. Wu began to gloat and gossip.

Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows and didn't match, but she knew the situation best, after all, she witnessed it with her own eyes.

"Where did you hear from that?"

"I heard that this has spread in the city of Taiyuan Mansion." Mrs. Wu sighed, "Every time Princess Jin has something to lose face, the huge Taiyuan Mansion will know that it really swells her face." ”

"King Jin is really ruthless to Princess Jin." Mrs. Wu shook her head, but there was not the slightest sympathy in her eyes, "But it was also self-inflicted, let her catch up, hahaha, it's really happy." ”

Chen Xiuyan didn't match, but the corners of her lips made Mrs. Wu find a sense of identity, and then she began to complain.

Chen Xiuyan drank two glasses of boiled water, and the Wu man on the opposite side picked up the teacup and took a sip to end it, and then threw out the key points of the day, "By the way, the day after tomorrow is my birthday, go and eat a meal?" ”

Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised, and immediately nodded, "It must be there." ”

"In the No. 1 private room on the third floor of Manshixiang, it is one o'clock in the afternoon." Mrs. Wu left the details and got up to say goodbye.

On September 12, Chen Xiuyan wore a curtain fence and walked to Manshixiang, the restaurant was more than a quarter of an hour away from Luo's house, this time it was still Zhuangya and Mama Mu with them, and there was Wei 12 secretly.

Entering the full food fragrance, the lobby was already full of people, reported Mrs. Wu's name, Chen Xiuyan was led up to the third floor, Mrs. Wu was already in the private room, chatting with several ladies who had arrived, Mrs. He was in the list, and there were several other official wives, all of whom had a relationship yesterday.

Chen Xiuyan came in, many ladies got up to say hello to her, all of them were under Luo Wenqian's official positions, Chen Xiuyan smiled and returned the salute, and then gave Mrs. He and Mrs. Wu a salute.

"I wonder what gifts Mrs. Luo has prepared?"

As soon as Chen Xiuyan sat down, a little woman wearing a red embroidered gold silk gown and a complete set of gold and jade heads, looking at the tender face, looked at Chen Xiuyan and asked, although there was a smile on her face, but a hint of watching a good show flashed in her eyes.

Chen Xiuyan is relatively unfamiliar with this lady, she is the lady who has experienced from the six products of the government secretary's office, what is it called......

"I have to take the gift you gave me home and slowly disassemble it and look at it carefully, so I won't show it to you today." Mrs. Wu directly snatched a box in Chen Xiuyan's hand, which can be regarded as a reply to Mrs. Experience's words.

Mrs. Cheng's smile froze for a moment, but she glared at Chen Xiuyan when she looked away.

"There were too many people yesterday and I didn't recognize them all, I don't know where this lady is?" Chen Xiuyan slightly hooked the corners of her lips and looked at the little woman dressed in grandstanding, with a trace of disdain in her eyes.

"Mrs. Tongju's eyes may have grown to the top of her head as soon as she ascended to heaven." The little woman snorted, "I am the wife of the political secretary Yamen Hong. ”

"It turned out to be Mrs. Hong, I remembered." Chen Xiuyan smiled and said, "The huge Taiyuan Mansion, Mrs. Hong should be the most similar to me, they are both from a peasant family, and they are also married from a peasant family, so it is not easy to get to this point." ”

Mrs. Hong was directly angry and blushed, Hong has been an official for six years, much older than Luo Wenqian, and now the last thing she wants to be mentioned is her background, and now she is inferior to herself, and a faint sense of superiority has come up, where do you want to get the other party is a faceless and skinless person, and the farmer's farmer himself is on his lips.

"Although I don't have a good background, fortunately, I have good luck, I have met a lot of nobles, I have been taught, and some etiquette has been learned, I thought it was not effective, but today compared with Mrs. Hong, it turned out to be a rapid progress." Chen Xiuyan specially stretched out her hand to straighten the plain gown with flowers on her body, which was simple and generous.

No one present was a fool, Chen Xiuyan's actions alluded to Mrs. Hong's hustle, not that the birthday star was dressed so ceremoniously, this is no rules and does not understand etiquette.

Mrs. Hong's face turned white and white, she was new to this face before she wanted to wear it out today to show off, she targeted Chen Xiuyan because her husband was the most likely to be promoted to the general judge before the Holy Lord's appointment, and second, she was intimate with Princess Jin, yesterday Chen Xiuyan gave the face of Princess Jin, and today she deliberately came to find Chen Xiuyan's stubble.

Although Mrs. Hong is not as good as Mrs. Wu, she is not worried, after all, the government and the political secretary belong to different yamen, even if she is offended, of course, Mrs. Hong does not have the courage to make her own opinions, and she has the permission to speak with Hong.

"Okay, okay, today is a good day for Mrs. Wu, let's not talk about anything else." Mrs. Lady smiled and played a round in the palace, Chen Xiuyan went downhill when she heard the words, Mrs. Hong snorted and turned her head, ignoring Chen Xiuyan, and the atmosphere in the private room became lively again.

The food of Taiyuan Mansion, Chen Xiuyan can be regarded as tasting the authentic dishes today, Bazhen soup, sweet and sour meatballs, oily meat, and meat-based.

"Ahh

There was a sudden terrible scream next door, Chen Xiuyan was startled, and at the same time glad that there was nothing in his mouth, and the other people at the same table were not so lucky, many people choked and coughed heartbreakingly.
