Chapter 168: Homecoming

Eleven Niang, who had never been home in March, only returned to the Liu Mansion in Chongrenfang on this day, and before she saw Mrs. Wei and Xiao's, she was almost immediately pulled to Fucuiwu by Liu Xiaojiu, who was the representative of the sisters, and listened to Jiu Niang talking about how the sisters were worried about her along the way, Eleven Niang couldn't help but roll up the corners of her lips, and let Jiu Niang hold her little hand tightly, and occasionally responded to two sweet words of "like every other three autumns".

Even though she was reborn and returned to Chang'an, she had a flattering and flattering attitude towards Xiao and the two sisters, and it was not utilitarian to take the initiative to get close at first, but four years later, at least for Xiao and Jiuniang, at this time there was really a bit of blood kinship, but Eleven Niang had already passed the innocent and delicate age in her bones, and such a thing as coquettishness could not become a habit, most of the time, in fact, she was more like a sister when she got along with Jiuniang, but Jiuniang was also accustomed to the young age of Eleven Sister, and she didn't care at all.

After a lot of words about "lovesickness and concern", Eleven Niang asked why she couldn't meet her relatives in time - Liu Ting's parents were uninvited guests.

"They've been here a lot lately?"

"What are you coming, since I arrived in Chang'an in October of the old year, I have not been to the door once, for Sister Ting's marriage, my mother asked me to send a letter to Yiyang, only to know that Lord Liu Bo was promoted by the chief, and he was actually transferred to the county lord of Wannian County." Liu Jiuniang snorted softly.

Eleven Niang knew this, the original Wannian Ling Yu Yong because of the unfavorable handling of Liu Xuanqing's case, suffered a serious demotion, of course, the Queen Mother refused to let the position of the county magistrate of Beijing out of control, but the new Wannian Ling was in office not long after, the Son of Heaven returned to power, reminded by his subordinates, began to pay attention to the position of the county commander of the two counties, but did not catch the county order to lose, two years ago, it was easy to look forward to the expiration of the Chang'an order, the appointment of Xue Qian recommended, and found an excuse to promote the Wannian order, and transferred to Shenzhou Don't drive Cao Gang to take office.

This Cao Gang is Ting's father Liu Dongye turned out to be an official, thinking that he appreciated Liu Shifu, and tried his best to transfer his old subordinates from Yiyang to Beijing.

As for Tinger's marriage, it is still the opportunity created by Yingyang's real person to choose an apprentice four years ago, although Tinger was not finally selected, but was valued by Yu, the mother of Xue Xiaoniang, one of the candidates at that time, and hurriedly asked her sister-in-law to discuss when she went home, it turned out that Yu's had a nephew Yu Shilang, who was three years older than Ting, and was exactly fifteen years old.

The two families have been back and forth a few times, although Yu's mother heard that Ting is not a Jinzhou Liuyan lineage, but she is quite fond of Ting's talents, and with the acquiescence of the parents of both sides, Yu Shilang has become a frequent visitor to Liufu.

At present, although the marriage also pays attention to the words of the parents, but in most cases, especially when it is convenient for the two families to come and go in the same place, it is also very normal to let the children contact in advance to observe whether they are harmonious before making a marriage.

That Yu Shilang is humble and motivated, Liu Ting is gentle and intelligent, especially after the two gradually get acquainted with each other, they have similar temperaments and similar hobbies, and in the eyes of the elders, it is naturally a match made in heaven.

However, Mrs. Wei and Xiao are not Ting but serious parents, and Ting's parents are both dead, and the marriage should be decided by the father Liu Dongye.

Therefore, Mrs. Tai sent a letter to Yiyang, and soon received a reply, Liu Dongye thanked Jing Zhaoliu in the letter, and blamed himself for his pretense and pretence, and the inexhaustible difficulties always showed that he was not ignoring the orphans of his siblings, and finally agreed with Ting's marriage, and entrusted it to Mrs. Tai as the master.

Mrs. Tai has basically reached a heart-to-heart understanding with Yu's mother, but she is still young because of Ting, and she is not in a hurry to settle down.

In March of this year, seeing Ting and Xuan, Yu's mother took the initiative to come to the door to propose, Mrs. Tai went to Xinyiyang while operating according to the usual procedures, although Liu Dongye has agreed, but to officially carry out the six ceremonies, how to notify.

Unexpectedly, this letter was not delivered to Liu Dongye, and when Mrs. Tai inquired, she learned that Liu Dongye had been transferred to Chang'an.

It's just that this father is far away in Yiyang, and he is transferred to Chang'an and ignores Ting's sister and brother, I really don't know how to evaluate it - it's not just a matter of being cold and thin, and even the basic etiquette is abandoned!

Mrs. Wei was angry and simply didn't pay attention to Liu Dongye, there was the letter in the horizontal and vertical, Mrs. Wei was qualified to manage the marriage for Ting, the big deal was that the dowry was from her own family, looking at Liu Dongye's attitude, I was afraid that she didn't want to handle it for Ting.

Therefore, Shi Niang heard that Liu Zhubo came to visit with his wife today, so she felt strange, thinking that Mrs. Tai was still angry and took the initiative to contact someone, listening to Liu Jiuniang's tone, it seems that this is not the case.

Compared with Jiu Niang, Eleven Niang undoubtedly understands the political situation of the court better, don't look at the four years of the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven are still harmonious on the surface, but Wei Yuanping and Mao Wei are competing with Xue Qian and Feng Bozhang who is in the position of servant, after the Son of Heaven took power, the court almost changed blood, and the two groups of people fought for an inch of land in order to win important positions, Cao Gang belonged to Xue Feng's party, and Liu Dongye, who was promoted by him, was naturally not Wei Mao's gang, and he was transferred to Chang'an but did not interact with Jingzhaoliu, and there was probably a reason to draw a clear line.

Because in the eyes of most people, Jing Zhaoliu must be the Wei Mao Party, even if his nephew Liu Yan marries Xue Shi Niang, it is also to seal the seal.

If you only judge the political position by the marriage relationship, it will only make people feel complicated and confusing, as far as Jingzhao Shiwang is concerned, it is almost in-laws to investigate each other carefully, and it is impossible to be in the same boat with only one or two marriages as a link, but often when getting married, political factors have to be considered, and this situation does make people laugh and cry.

In short, Eleven Niang couldn't understand why Liu Dongye suddenly changed his attitude, and she had a sense of foreboding in her heart.

When she arrived at Fucuiwu, Eleven Niang didn't have the purpose of figuring out what the purpose of Liu Dongye's uninvited guest was, and the enthusiastic sisters swarmed up, reminiscing about the old days, and asking for painting art, Eleven Niang only hated to have a mouth full of mouths.

In fact, since she studied under Yingyang Zhen, it has become the glory of the family, not to mention these ladies in Liu's women's school, even the painter will occasionally take out the works to ask Eleven Niang to evaluate, if the little girls can get a word of praise from Eleven Niang, they will even be so happy that they can't sleep for three nights, Eleven Niang's central position in Liufu is unswerving, and those jealousy and doubts in the early years are like a lifetime.

At this time, within the Liu family, no one used her identity to find fault anymore.

It was easy to get out, and Eleven Niang pulled Jiuniang aside, and then asked Qi Niang: "Why don't you see Seventh Sister today, are you still having trouble with your mother?" ”

Liu Qi Niang is close to Ji, her marriage with the Han family in Fuyang has been decided, just waiting for the appointment after the meeting, but Qi Niang and Xiao have an awkward quarrel, as early as March ago, she had already called herself sick and boycotted class, and she had not yet softened at this time, Qi Niang had never been so stubborn.

Jiuniang sighed: "I really don't understand what the seventh sister is making a fuss about, Han Liulang was hired a few years ago, he is personable, modest and polite, he is really a good match, his father has tested his talent compared to Liulang, and he also praises the future will be on the gold list, the only deficiency is that Fuyang is far away, and it will not be easy to meet his family in the future, but if the seventh sister is not reluctant to give up her family, she should not disobey the eldest mother and A-Niang, but she is ...... Ah Niang is thinking about the seventh sister everywhere, and the mother of the world even directly promised that in the future, she would not allow her brother-in-law to take a concubine until she had no children in her forties. ”

This is really not easy in Da Zhou, which shows the sincerity of the Han family.

The ladies of the Great Zhou Dynasty are deeply influenced by enlightened customs, and they will never be shy and blush when it comes to marriage, and parents will not deliberately avoid the topic of marriage, so at this time, although Jiuniang is in the cardamom years, she has heard the elders mention it a lot, and she knows some things more or less, and the more she talks, the more troubled she is: "The seventh sister is getting older, and her temperament is becoming more and more stubborn, not to mention the confrontation with A-Niang, and even secretly sent a letter to Hanzhou to ask Aya for help, but she refused to marry the Han family, but she didn't think that since the two families had passed the levy, Aya must also agree with this marriage." ”

Eleven Niang noticed early in the morning that Qi Niang is not as gentle and peaceful as it seems, but in fact it is quite strong, four years ago, the Shangqing Guan exam has been planted in her heart, should complain about Xiao's eccentricity, this time she met her parents insisted on letting her marry far away, and although the Han family is surnamed Fuyang, after all, it is not as prestigious as the Liu family, and Qi Niang will feel even more wronged.

She has tactfully reminded Xiao of these things, and I believe that Mrs. Wei has already noticed it, but Xiao still insists on letting Qi Niang marry far away, and she should also consider it herself, Eleven Niang knows that Liu Qi Niang is estranged from her, she takes the initiative to make up for it, but the other party is stubborn, and there is no better way.

"If the ninth sister has a chance, it is better to persuade the seventh sister."

Jiuniang bowed her head sullenly, and suddenly turned her worries into joy: "But Eleventh Sister, Aya is about to return to Beijing, I heard that it is for official business, but the term of office has also expired, the banditry in Hanzhou has subsided, and the disaster has long passed, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment for four years, and Aya will definitely be able to stay in Kyoto this time." ”

Xie Raoping is still in Hanzhou, and Liu Changshi can return to Beijing? Eleven Niang frowned slightly, the case of Liu Du's embezzlement in the former Hanzhou assassin was unsolved, and several ministers of state in the political hall were still fighting for this case, Liu Junyi returned to Beijing this time, I am afraid that it is not unrelated to this matter.

When she thought of Liu Du, Eleven Niang only felt like swallowing a handful of mosquitoes and flies, and the feeling was really difficult to describe in words.

This person claimed to have been framed because of Pei Zheng's case, and if he was really wronged, it would be fine, but according to Shi Niang's opinion...... Liu Du mostly used Pei Zheng as a shield, wanting to get away with it!
