Eleven Niang directly welcomed Zheng Min and his wife to Yuguanju.

To say, this is somewhat impolite, although Zheng Min is a cousin-in-law, it is natural for Eleven Niang to come forward to entertain guests, but according to this layer, it is far from being a distant and close relative, in order to avoid the suspicion of melon fields and plums, it should not be entertained in the living room, even if the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are enlightened, it will not attract thousands of people, but if it spreads, it will also lead to the breeding of suspicious words, and I am afraid that it will become a gossip that people with long tongues talk about after dinner, which is not conducive to the "husband gang" of His Royal Highness King Jin.

It's just that Eleven Niang thinks about it, this conversation with Zheng Min is not a few cold and polite words, if you are entertaining guests in the side hall of the outer courtyard, because of the limited number of people accompanying her this time, the kitchen outside is not set up properly, and it is not so convenient to prepare tea and fruits, it is inevitable that she will neglect relatives and friends who come from afar, and now the servants and maids inside and outside are well-trained henchmen, and they will never spread the affairs of the house, He Ye, the husband, is not a careless person, and she does not have her in-laws and elders above her to be picky about etiquette with wide eyes, so she no longer sticks to those rules.

In fact, Yinru's presence is enough to avoid suspicion, and it is not that Eleven Niang has a secret conversation with her brother-in-law in private at her living place, where will there be an imaginary peachy affair.

Because when Zheng Min married Yin Ru, Eleven Niang happened to be in the palace, and this was the first time she saw this cousin-in-law, so she took a closer look.

Zheng Minyuan is ten years older than Yin Ru, at this time he has passed the age of standing, probably because of the difficult family situation in the early years, so the physique is a little thin, but he has a square and upright Chinese face, with a perseverance between the eyebrows, words and deeds, and a single bearing, it seems to be somewhat similar to Shao Borong, but he is a little more calm than Shao Jiulang, obviously not a sharp and impulsive hot-blooded man, but he also does not look sleek and sophisticated, not to mention the servile and charming bones.

Eleven Niang secretly praised, and said that the father Liu Xinyi really has a unique vision, although he has not remarried after leaving Qiao's family, and there is no wife around to take care of housekeeping, but Liu Xinyi has not made any mistakes in the marriage family selected for several children.

Compared with Zheng Min's down-and-out generosity, Yinru seemed a little restrained and uneasy, as if she was worried, but Eleven Niang didn't have time to care about this cousin's mood at this time.

Although she and Yin Ru had long been disgusted, the sisters were never close, in fact, in the heart of Eleven Niang, she didn't really regard Yin Ru as a cousin.

Originally, I didn't have a heart when I was in the boudoir, and now I have married a wife, although it is a reunion after a long absence, but suddenly, how can I be intimate? Not to mention that Eleven Niang didn't have time to talk to Yin Ru about the affairs in the boudoir, even if she put the business aside, no matter what the two said, they seemed to have a little bit of a deep relationship.

He also said that Yin Ru, sitting on his shoulders and going all the way inside from the screen door of the inner house, originally because of his worries, he had no intention of looking around at the surrounding scenery, until the jade pipe was outside the house, and he temporarily withdrew his wandering thoughts and looked at this courtyard.

In the white wall and Zhumen, it is not an open courtyard, at a glance to the end, and I don't see the hall and house, but a square side of the lotus pond, although this side of the clear pond occupies a lot, but it is not all over the lotus, the lotus is only concentrated on both sides of the covered bridge built in the pool, this season, of course, there is no green skirt light dance, hibiscus out of the water, on both sides of the covered bridge, only the lone stem stands, it seems that this wide side of the pond water is cold and deserted.

You can walk on the covered bridge, look far away, you can see the water in the rippling water, the willow shadow is graceful, and the golden silk willow standing by the water, even if it is in the gloomy weather without sunshine, it can also be splendid, and the orchid boat under the willow is light, adding a bit of wild interest.

Walking across the covered bridge, it is still a bluestone paved road, leading straight to a moon gate, and after this gate, the scenery changes again.

Beside the bluestone road, it is the green bamboo Yishuang, I want to come is the origin of the name of this place, and the planting bamboo is dense again, there are zigzag pebble paths that can be passed, look at it at will, you can see several pavilions built in the bamboo forest, want to come to the midsummer season, people sit in the pavilion, enjoy the breeze and send coolness, listen to the sound of the wind and leaves, how can there be the pain of depression?

But Yinru looked at it and saw that at the end of the road, there seemed to be only a row of corridors, and she was secretly surprised, how could this place be more like a flower garden than a living place?

She heard Shi Niang apologize earlier, saying that she had just moved to a new house, and the personnel everywhere had not been properly arranged, so she only cleaned up the living place first, so for the sake of convenience, she had to invite the guests to sit in the courtyard to talk, but Shi Niang is the princess of Jin, and there must be a hall in the residence, and it is unlikely that there is only a garden corridor.

Just when I was in doubt, I saw Eleven Niang turn to the right.

In front of him is a row of white walls, the screen door is painted with green paint, after this door, Yin Rufang saw the neat courtyard.

Unlike those high-ranking families, the halls of the main courtyard where the master mother lives are all sitting in the north and facing south, in the courtyard of the princess of Jin, the main hall is set up facing west, located on the pedestal of two floors higher, and the north and south sides are still connected by verandahs, the courtyard in front of the hall is very wide, only the flower beds next to the verandah are planted with plum trees, just in the season of blooming, the plum color is gorgeous.

At the bottom of the hall steps, Yin Ru was about to remove her shoes, but was stopped by Eleven Niang's smile and arm.

"The winter is cold, and your family doesn't need to be so restrained."

In this way, he went up the steps, and it was not until the front of the hall that a maidservant came to serve the shoes, and although she was only wearing socks, she stepped on the thick felt carpet and naturally did not feel the cold on the soles of her feet.

This hall is completely built according to the ancient style, and the four sides are open, not half-open and half-closed, but because of the cold winter, it is covered with brocade felt on all sides, but it is not grounded, even if the weather is not beautiful today, the hall is not gloomy.

And the surrounding hanging felt, the backing is ochre, one side of the printing and weaving landscape or plant painting, the other side is actually printing and weaving text, the intermittent decoration, very elegant.

Yin Ru took a closer look, and there were words and phrases from poems such as Taoyao, Hanguang, Zhilan, and Fusu in the mountains, and the weaving paintings on the weeping felt were obviously derived from poetry, so they were set off in this way.

The inner stage of the hall is also separated by three painting screens, and the screen is painted on the ladies to travel in spring, for this cold winter, with a sense of spring, and sit down, and sit down, and do not prevent the viewing of the plum color in the courtyard, and also the faint fragrance of the sinking water around the nose, as well as the melting warmth emanating from the carved charcoal ding, and hold a hot tea just cooked by the maidservant in the hand, which makes people have the illusion of being in the spring season.

Yin Ru sat silently on the side, quietly listening to Shi Niang and her husband talking about those court affairs, and her mood was extremely complicated.

She couldn't remember the childish eyebrows of the eleventh sister back then, and now she was only in awe of the princess Jin in front of her.

Or maybe there is still a little envy from time to time, they are both concubines, but the current situation of the two is so different.

Although Yin Ru has long let go of those unrealistic vanities, but in this situation, looking back on the past, she is still a little melancholy, which has nothing to do with jealousy, to be precise, it is just inferiority.

Don't say that glory and wealth, even if it is the peace and joy of the moment, she can't really grasp it, worrying every day, everything is just a mirror, when the mother-in-law and her husband learn that she is unbearable in the past, they will be completely lost.

How can you compare to Eleven Niang......

Yin Ru looked at this cousin who was still comfortable talking to her husband about government affairs, and she felt even more ashamed of herself with such high spirits.

And when she sat down in the Yuguan Residence, Eleven Niang could no longer take care of Yinru, and she didn't have too much politeness, and she was quite straightforward: "Don't hide it from my brother-in-law, I originally planned to send a book to Yunzhou in the next two days, and invite the two of you to Jinyang to see me, I didn't want Sister Yin and brother-in-law to come to Jinyang first, I was really surprised." ”

"I don't hide it from the princess, the official came here by order this time." Although Zheng Min was advised by his father-in-law, he knew that although the eleventh sister was a woman, she was pinned on by the Yue family, and even went to Jin this time, and was still responsible for governing the government, but he didn't know that the king of Jin had long been "motivated".

Of course, this is because the matter is very serious, not that Liu Xin is trustworthy but Zheng Min, but the less one person knows the inside information, there is less danger of leakage, and there is no need to let Zheng Min know the will of King Jin in advance, and it is prudent to have reservations.

Eleven Niang does not intend to uncover He Ye's old bottom, and the affairs of Yunzhou are still within her scope of responsibility, so she can come forward to negotiate with Zheng Min, and there is no need to avoid Yin Ru.

It is also the queen mother's plan to let Wang Jingu lose power, and there is no need to hide it.

Eleven Niang is not familiar with Zheng Min, just one side, of course, it is impossible to determine whether this person can be trusted wholeheartedly, let alone Yinru, even if Eleven Niang ignores the past suspicions, she still has some reservations about her character, and she will definitely not tell King Jin in detail, burying this great hidden danger.

Her trust in Zheng Min is also limited to the relationship between the imperial court and the feudal festival, and it is also related to the Jiangshan Sheji, of course Zheng Min will not hand over his life to Wang Jingu, but is just an enemy of the imperial court.
