Qingrong smiled, nodded, said a few words, and followed Ah Yan to the old lady of Rongguo. Walking on the road, Qingrong asked Ah Yan about the old lady. I knew that this old lady was born in the Cui family in Guanzhong, and she was a noble daughter, and she married into the Wei family, and the Wei family became a princess, and there was a queen. Such a person must hold his own identity, why did he suddenly see her?

Qingrong couldn't help but start to get nervous, there seemed to be more and more scenes like this than before... Ah Yan led Qingrong into the upper room, and Qingrong saw an old woman with gray hair, but still in good spirits, looking at her with a smile.

Qingrong stepped forward to salute her, Mrs. Cui raised her eyes and looked her up and down, waved her hand, and called Qingrong to sit down, "Sit down, don't be restrained, I don't have so many rules." I heard the eldest lady say that Sanniang is a rare good talent, and when I saw it today, it was really good. ”

"The old lady has been promoted, Qingrong knows that her talent is shallow, how dare she show off in front of the old lady?"

Cui Shi smiled: "You are humble, no wonder the queen also looks at you differently." ”

Qingrong smiled and lowered his head, "Qingrong doesn't dare to be." ”

Old Madam Cui smiled and said: "I heard that your good things are coming, you are the queen's choice, how can our Guogong Mansion have nothing to say?" ”

Qingrong's heart jumped, and he said respectfully: "The old lady is serious, Her Royal Highness the Queen's kindness, Qingrong is already very grateful, where will Qingrong not be satisfied?" ”

Old Madam Cui patted her hand and said, "Eh, you don't have to be so respectful. It's yours, just take it with peace of mind. Then he called out, "Call her in." ”

At this moment, a maidservant girl of about twenty-six or seventeen years old walked in from outside. She was born upright and white, with a slender body, and she looked calm and introverted. She saluted Qingrong and Mrs. Cui, and then remained silent.

Old Madam Cui opened her mouth and introduced: "Her name is Yun Niang, and she used to serve in front of the eldest princess's mansion and the concubines of the first emperor, and she came to the Wei Mansion because of the turnaround. She is alert, reliable, and can settle accounts, which is a rare one. I heard that you are still new to Yongcheng, the time is not long, and now you want to marry a woman, and many rules cannot be unknown. I'll let her serve you by your side, and help you manage the council, what do you think? ”

To her? When Mrs. Cui said this, it seemed that she wanted to send a helper, but in fact, she wanted to insert an eyeliner by her side. Qingrong smiled slightly and said: "It's still the old lady who is thoughtful, but the mansion is not as good as the Guogong Mansion, Qingrong is afraid of being sluggish, and it is overkill." ”

"When you marry into the Xue family, you always have to face those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and you always have to go to banquets and socialize in the future. I'm just afraid of such people, you are too few. ”

This is true, leaving aside Yun Niang's identity, she is indeed a rare talent, and she really needs such a talent now, not to mention that it is difficult for her to refuse Mrs. Cui. Qingrong no longer shirked, nodded in response, and thanked Mrs. Cui with a smile.

Seeing this, the smile in Mrs. Cui's eyes deepened, and she nodded with satisfaction, "If you have any difficulties in the future, just ask us." Even though I'm dizzy with old age, I can save trouble. ”

Qingrong responded with a smile, and secretly said in his heart, where are you saving trouble, it is obviously too convenient! After a few more polite words with Mrs. Cui, she saw that Mrs. Cui had a somewhat excited look, and Qingrong said goodbye and left.

When she came out of the Guogong Mansion, she received another congratulatory gift from Mrs. Wei. When I got into the carriage home, the wall of the carriage shook, and the carriage moved slowly. Qingrong didn't speak, and Song Yue and Ah Zhen also quieted down because there was an extra Yun Niang in the car, and for a while, the atmosphere seemed to be a little stagnant.

Qingrong looked at those wooden boxes and cloths, but his heart sank to the bottom. People like Mrs. Cui will show favor to themselves so easily, which always makes her think deeply, I am afraid that others will also think that she is the queen's person, and now she can only stand on this side without choice...

Yun Niang saw that Qingrong was a little distracted, and kindly reminded: "Sanniang, why are you a little pale?" ”

Qingrong came back to his senses and glanced at Song Yue with some weakness, "Really?" It's probably too cold outside. ”

"Sanniang is the most chilly, Xu has just frozen outside." Song Yue leaned over and touched Qingrong's hand, "Ah", worried: "Why is Sanniang's hand so cold?" ”

Qingrong shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm going home soon." ”

Yun Niang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "So that's the case, I learned some fur from the female doctor in the princess's mansion in the past, and I remember some recipes for dispelling cold and maintaining health. ”

Qingrong looked at her calm eyes, and just smiled faintly, "You have a heart, but I often use prescriptions, so I don't have to be so troublesome." ”

Seeing this, Yun Niang didn't say anything more, and just smiled back, but for no reason she was a little disappointed, and said, "The maid knows." ”

Qingrong just asked someone to settle Yun Niang first, and let her wait by her side like Ah Zhen. For those who are not at ease, it is better to put it under their noses. However, she also behaved, An An was divided, and she did not do anything to make Qingrong embarrassed.

The days passed like this, and the Xue family invited someone to calculate the auspicious day, so they chose the marriage on the first day of March of the next year. It's December, and with less than three months to go, it's still a bit rushed.

The Wang family was sometimes busy counting the dowry, and at the end of the day, he was also very busy. Most of the dowry of the Xue family was given to Qingrong by Lu Wenzhong and the Wang family as a dowry, as well as the ones prepared by the family, plus the rewards from the queen, the virtuous concubine and the Guogong Mansion, which was enough.

Qingrong is originally smart, and she learns things quickly, and even Yun Niang praised her for being able to do a good job in the future when she saw it. Wang felt that there was nothing wrong with learning earlier, and he would use it in the future, so he also took Siniang with him, and someone accompanied him, so naturally it didn't seem so boring. Even the Su family often came to Lu's house, either to send some snacks, or to send some good clothes, or to send some jewelry.

Although the man had never been here, anyone with a discerning eye knew who it meant. This is the scene where Siniang and Su Shi sit together and make fun of her from time to time, if they don't make her blush, these two people will not give up.

Even Liu Yuniang also came with good news in the palace, the imperial doctor said that Concubine Xian was happy, and the Lu family was really happy for her, but in the eyes of others, it became a jealous thing. It took two days for Wang and the others to learn that Liu Yuniang was punished by the concubine and had a fetal gas.

It was Wang Fu in Liu Yuniang's palace who personally came to spread the news, this Feng's eyes were red, and Lu Sanniang had to be pointed out by the queen to such a good family matter, so she also asked Liu Yuniang to mention the stepsister in the family, if she was not allowed to enter this palace, how could she help her choose a good family. also used the reputation of filial piety to suppress Liu Yuniang, blaming Liu Yuniang for only thinking about her aunt's house.

Concubine Xian did not agree, and the Feng family did not forgive, slandering Liu Yuniang for being disloyal and unfilial, ungrateful, and ruining her reputation. Somehow, this matter reached the ears of the concubine, and it happened that the queen and the saint were not in the palace, and the concubine punished the concubine on the grounds of unfilial piety.

The Wang family didn't like this stepmother Feng, she was vulgar, and she treated Liu Yuniang harshly, how could she not be angry when she knew this? Her face turned blue, and she gritted her teeth and said, "This Feng clan is simply obsessed!" ”

Siniang couldn't help it, and was anxious to go to Liu's house to settle accounts with those people, "It's like this that I want to get ahead, be prosperous and rich, and I don't know how many catties and taels I have, and I use some dirty means to harm others and myself." ”

Qingrong frowned slightly and pulled her, "Siniang, don't worry, since this matter has reached the palace, it is not enough to quarrel about right and wrong." ”

Qingrong asked Wang Fu again, "How is the virtuous concubine now?" When will the queen and the saint return to the palace? ”

Wang Fu said: "The imperial doctor said that the virtuous concubine is fine, and she can cultivate for a few days, and the saint and the queen will return to the palace tomorrow." ”

Wang and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine." ”

Qingrong nodded, "I know, I'm tired of the waiter, you go back to take care of Concubine Xian first, and we will plan the rest." After speaking, he stuffed another purse into Wang Fu. Wang Fu quickly accepted it with his hands and feet, and said yes.

After sending people away, Siniang looked sad and asked: "Ah Niang, how can Sister Ah be good now, this virtuous concubine has been made so troubled, can she still raise a baby with peace of mind?" has to be deducted from this unwarranted name, obviously the Feng family treated Concubine Xian badly in the past, and it was because of Concubine Xian that she has today's scenery, but now she has to step on it in turn. ”

Qingrong pondered: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, although this Feng family is also a lady now, but without the queen's summons, how can he enter the palace and get involved with the concubine?" ”

Wang also understood the meaning of her words, and scolded: "What a fool, he actually helped outsiders to harm his own family." Concubine Xian is in a difficult situation now, but if she ignores it and loses her reputation, it will be useless in the future. I had to ask people to go to Liufu to inquire about the news first. ”

Qingrong nodded, "Exactly." ”

The Wang family was still worried about Liu Yuniang's body, so on the day the queen returned to the palace, he first invited the excerpt into the palace to visit Liu Yuniang, and Siniang also went with him. Qingrong stayed at home, and the next person who came back inquired about the news from the coachman of Liufu, it is said that he didn't know that Concubine Xian had a fetal gas, Feng's mother and daughter are now at home, and Liu Shi has been drinking and meeting guests outside these days, and may not know about it. I couldn't find anything else.

Qingrong didn't have a deep impression of this uncle, but he remembered that when his aunt was alive, he was honest and easy to talk to, and he was reasonable, how could he condone Feng to do such a thing?

As soon as Qingrong heard that Feng was at home, she was about to go to her to settle accounts, but Yun Niang, who had always been quiet and silent, opened her mouth to stop her, "Sanniang, I know you are angry, but you should think about the key to this matter first." After all, you are not from the Liu family, if you want to meddle in this matter, if you don't handle it properly, no matter how you deal with the mother and daughter, you will inevitably provoke gossip. ”

Qingrong looked at her clear eyes, and gradually had a countermeasure in her heart. She nodded at Yun Niang and muttered, "I know." ”

The key to this matter is still in Liu Shi. Qingrong heard that Concubine Xian had won the Jin Title, and Liu Shi had also been promoted, originally only an eight-rank official position, but now he has also been promoted to the sixth grade, and there are many officials who flatter him. Qingrong didn't know many officials in Yongcheng, so he wanted to inquire about the Su family, and when he asked, he found out that this Xue Dalang was still the peak of this Liu Shi! No wonder this Feng family is so jealous that he got this marriage.

Su treated Qingrong and was kind, and he was also concerned about her affairs, and the two of them summed up and asked Xue Xing to invite Liu Shi to have a drink. This Liu Shi really responded happily, Qingrong had already discussed with the Su couple, and also went to the restaurant where they were eating, and sat in the compartment.

Liu Shi didn't expect to find himself for a drink at the summit, so he was particularly flattered and complimented him repeatedly. The people here have already taken the seat, and there is an unexpected guest in front of Qingrong.

Qingrong looked at him suspiciously, and asked softly, "Why are you here?" ”
