On the day when the Xun family came to the Hou Mansion to make a decision, Xu was to show the importance of this family business, and the two servants of the Ministry came over in person. The two also brought a respectable matchmaker, who was not a bystander, but Mrs. Hou of the Marquis Mansion in Xinchang.

The Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion were both nobles pardoned by Emperor Taizu. The ancestors of both families started with military merits, and they both had great prestige in the court.

The difference is that the Wu'an Hou Mansion retreated bravely, and after the first Wu Anhou, all the descendants abandoned the civil and military affairs; The descendants of the Marquis of Xinchang have served in the army from generation to generation, and the current Marquis of Xinchang controls the northeast frontier and is still the pillar of the country.

Another ingenious thing is that Xu Zhijun, the prince of the Marquis of Xinchang, was also selected as the prince's companion in his early years, and entered the palace on an errand with Shen Tingjun. Both of them are the right-hand men of the crown prince, and they are young and powerful, and they have no heirs for various reasons......

Don't say the last one, just say that because of the friendship over the years, the Wu'an Hou Mansion and the Xinchang Hou Mansion are very close. Mrs. Xinchanghou and the old lady are of the same age, and they were also poker friends at the same table earlier, and even now, the relationship between the two is very close.

It can be said that the servant of the Ministry invited Mrs. Xinchang Hou to be this matchmaker, and it was really good to invite him.

The Xun family decided to send a pair of live geese, as well as the traditional eight kinds of gifts, as well as dowries and letters of appointment.

Needless to say, it is worth mentioning that the fifth son of the Xun family is not sure whether he is particularly satisfied with Wang Xiuwen, or especially good at coaxing the girl's heart, I heard that he also asked the elders to hand over a pair of wishful jade pendants.

The Ruyi jade pendant is said to have been carved by the fifth prince himself. When separated, the two jade pendants are two different shapes, and together they form a perfect circle.

I heard that the jade carving is very meticulous, and it took the fifth prince to carve it day and night for a month.

Don't care if this is true or not, anyway, Wang Xiuwen was obviously moved by the friendship of the five sons, I heard that she blushed with a peach blossom face, took the jade pendant and hid it closely, and from time to time she had to take it out to take a look, and then blushed again......

also mentioned the appearance of the fifth son, it is said that it is a jade tree in the wind, as beautiful as a crown of jade, a beautiful young man. Holding a folding fan and wearing a brocade robe, he can attract calls and applause wherever he goes, and even the mother-in-law guarding the door will blush when he looks at him.

Sang Xuanyue sat next to her, listening to the second lady and Zhou Baolu making fun of Wang Xiuwen.

At this time, it was already afternoon, the Xun family had already left, and Sang Xuanyue followed the flow to congratulate Wang Xiuwen.

saw that Miss Xiuwen was really as Su Xin said, her whole face was radiant, but her eyebrows and eyes were ashamed. From time to time, she looked at her clenched palm, which seemed to be wrapped in a jade pendant.

Sang Xuanyue and Shen Yuyao walked out of Yusheng Ju together, and walking in front of them were the second lady and Zhou Baolu. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, and the atmosphere was unusually harmonious.

Sang Xuanyue looked at Zhou Baolu twice, thinking that she resolutely did not go out that day, she should have annoyed this cousin. Otherwise, she wouldn't have ignored her on such an occasion, the back of her head was about to rise to the sky, and she was even more yin and yang when she talked to her.

But let her go, it won't be long before the left and right, just wait for the verdict of the king master, and the Wang family will no longer have the power to fight back, so she will move out with her younger brother at that time!

Sang Xuanyue hasn't seen Shen Yuyao for a long time.

Having said that, there was another major event in the Hou Mansion a year ago, that is, Shen Yuyao was about to catch up. I heard that she has been learning the rules of etiquette in the room all these days, and she is still being pressed by the old lady to learn the housekeeper.

In the end, it was the eldest girl's family, and the relatives also began to look at each other, and Shen Yuyao became visibly stable with the naked eye.

However, in front of familiar people, Shen Yuyao was still as innocent as ever. Luckily, Sang Wrenching Moon was classified as someone she could trust.

I heard Shen Yuyao whisper, "Cousin Sang shouldn't have seen the fifth son, right?" That's right, you didn't come here just now. I did see the fifth son, he and the Xun family stayed in the Hou Mansion for dinner this morning, and I had the pleasure of taking two looks. ”

Sang Twist Yue chuckled and said, "How? The fifth prince is as suave as the legend? ”

"I didn't see it, the merry is quite merry. Cousin Sang, you didn't see it, that fifth son is really ......"

"What is it?"

"It's really self-respecting!"

Sang Xuanyue was dumbfounded, thinking that she had misheard. But seeing Shen Yuyao hatefully, "He is married, and he is still smiling at the maids, isn't it, isn't this hooking up with the little maids?" ”

"Perhaps...... He doesn't mean anything else, it's just that he has a cheerful personality and likes to laugh? ”

"That's not going to happen. He has a master, whether others mean it or not, he has to show his own attitude. When you meet the opposite sex, even if it's a little girl, you can't laugh if you don't laugh. Otherwise, if people misunderstand that he is interested in others, isn't this a problem? ”

Sang Xuanyue stopped and asked Shen Yuyao, "Who told you all this?" Did you think of it yourself, or did the old lady tell you? ”

Sang Xuanyue felt that with Shen Yuyao's simple temperament, she would definitely not think of this. But it is not very realistic to say what the old lady told her. After all, there are ready-made people in the Hou Mansion who don't like to laugh, such as Shen Tingjun, the Hou Ye who condenses his face all day long.

Sang Xuanyue heard the old lady nagging her more than once, saying, "If Da Lang can smile more, can it be so difficult to find a daughter-in-law?" He had a stiff face all day long, and when the little girls saw him, his head was big, and he could stop the children from crying at night. If he smiles a lot, he looks young, and there are little girls who dare to run after him. Women chase men in the interlayer yarn, maybe the eldest man has already married a little daughter-in-law. ”

Listening to the old lady's words, the old man was full of eyes and felt that it was a good thing for men to smile more. And don't the fifth sons love to laugh? Although Sang Twist Moon prefers to call that flirtatious.

Shen Yuyao shook her head frantically when she heard Sang Xuanyue's words, "I didn't come up with it myself, and it wasn't the secret that my mother taught me, it was Lingwei who told me." Lingwei also began to say kiss, she said that when a man laughs when he sees someone, he is attracting bees and butterflies, and such a man must not want it. ”

Sang Xuanyue knew that Xu Lingwei was a cousin of Shen Yuyao's uncle's family, and she and Shen Yuyao had always had a good relationship. But both of them are the youngest in the family, and who is more childish than the other. The two always reconciled in three days, and then quarreled again in two days. The fighting and slapstick have grown so big, and the mode of getting along with the two has not changed so far.

It's hard to say that a man who loves to laugh is really "uneasy in the room", but no matter the occasion, he smiles at the woman, such a man is definitely not good. However, Shen Yuyao is not a child anymore, she knows both good and bad, she also has a scale in her heart, and she will not be deceived.

Sang Xuanyue said, "You understand this truth, but unfortunately Miss Xiuwen doesn't understand." ”

"She, she was coaxed by the rhetoric of the fifth son, and she couldn't touch the north."

"What coax? Have the two met in private? ”

Shen Yuyao whispered, "I heard that I saw it in private when I was in the Xishan Hunting Ground, and the fifth prince has a lotus tongue, and he can be said to be alive when he is dead." My cousin was so fascinated by him, so she had to die or live if he didn't marry. He snorted angrily and said, "Where is that fifth prince good-looking?" Far worse than my big brother! A man like my eldest brother is a suave and heroic man, and he can be a great husband! ”

Mulberry Twisting Moon: "......"

Sang Xuanyue couldn't go up or down in one breath, and his face suddenly turned red.

Shen Yuyao didn't hear her echo, and turned her head sideways to ask her, "What's the matter, Cousin Sang, do you think what I said is wrong?" Isn't my eldest brother a thousand times stronger than those five sons? ”

"This ......"

Sang Xuanyue was pondering her words, thinking about how to fool Shen Yuyao over, and it was also at this time that the second lady and Zhou Baolu, who were walking in front, suddenly turned around.

The second lady smiled, "What secrets are you two biting your ears in the back?" Speak up, and let's hear it too. ”

Shen Yuyao: "We are saying that Cousin Xiuwen has a good eye, and if she marries into the Xun family in the future, she will wait to enjoy the blessings." ”

The second lady pursed her lips, obviously she was not optimistic about the fifth son.

But Wang Xiuwen is determined to get married, no matter what anyone says, she won't listen to her, and the matter is a foregone conclusion, so it's useless to talk about it now. Again, the Wang family is really annoying enough, originally her little friendship with Wang Xiuwen and Mrs. Gu has also faded because of the disgusting things done by the Wang family in the past few days. So it doesn't matter who Wang Xiuwen marries, it has nothing to do with her, she is too lazy to worry about this.

The second lady snorted, "Xiuwen is old, and when the master has seen the eight characters, I am afraid that the day of marriage will be set." ”

Shen Yuyao's attention was diverted, and she curiously leaned in front of the second lady, "Will the date of marriage be set soon?" Will Xiuwen's cousin get married a year ago? Now the Chinese New Year is less than two months away. ”

"If nothing else, Xiuwen's wedding day should be a year ago." The second lady said, "Xiuwen will be twenty-one after the New Year, and it is really unreasonable for such a big girl not to get married." Again, the fifth son of the Xun family is not young, and the Xun family still expects that the fifth son will be able to study with confidence when he becomes a family, and then he will also take the test for fame and do some serious things. ”

"That's it."

"Moreover, the Xun family, the fifth prince's relatives, has already begun to take care of it, the houses are all repainted, and the yards are properly maintained. Xiuwen's mother's family has come to give the wedding, and even the dowry has been shipped, so she also wants Xiuwen to get out of the cabinet as soon as possible. Things won't drag on for too long, and Xiuwen will definitely get married a year ago. ”

said that it was a year ago, but the second lady conservatively estimated that Xiuwen would marry out after a month of death.

After all, the Hou Mansion is not the base camp of the Wang family, and there is no reason why a large family and even some people are celebrating the New Year at the old man's house.

Therefore, Wang Xiuwen's matter will be solved before the latest Xiao Xiao, and then the Wang family will leave Beijing and return to their homeland for the New Year.

Things were exactly as the second lady expected.

A day later, the Xun family reconciled the two of them and sent them over, and then Mrs. Xinchanghou personally came over to agree on the marriage date, and finally chose the nearest auspicious day, which was on the ninth day of the lunar month.

It's enough to rush this day, but the two families have everything. Just do some more details, not very panicked.

It is in this kind of busyness that the people of the palace have become more and more unruly, stealing, playing prestige, and doing things to people...... The matter finally broke out, and someone stabbed the old lady at once.

The old lady and Mrs. Gu sat together and discussed how to deal with this matter, and the maid who was taken advantage of must have been appeased, but Mrs. Gu's grandson and the little maid bullied people, and this matter could not be taken lightly.

The old lady was really annoyed this time, so she said to Mrs. Gu, "This child looked very good when he was a child, how can he grow up and lose his temperament." ”

Mrs. Gu burst into tears and cried, "Isn't it all my fault?" If I had the ability, I would never have come to my parents' house for the sake of my youngest daughter's family, but would have left a litter of children and grandchildren over there for several years. His father is a careless person, he gets drunk all day long without errands, I am full of complaints for my daughter, and I let my children and grandchildren have no one to educate them, this is all mine. ”

It's your own suffering that is crying, and it's your own that you're not crying, but this isn't complaining about the old marquis.

In the final analysis, it was the old marquis who chose the wrong husband for her!

When the old lady heard this nonsense, she was so angry that her whole body hurt!

Didn't she choose a husband in the first place? The father-in-law was just this one daughter-in-law, and at the beginning he listed several families for her to choose, but she herself chose the Wang family.

Now I regret it again, and I come to complain that my father-in-law hurt her, and my father-in-law has a spirit under the spring, and I am afraid that he will be angry and come back to life.

When Mrs. Gu saw the old lady's annoyed look, she quickly took it.

Now that the daughter's marriage is imminent, she still needs her mother's family to support the scene. Her mother's family is headed by her nephew, and her aunt's words are not as effective as the words of the old lady's mother.

Mrs. Gu is well aware of the truth that crying children have candy, but after crying, they must be able to bring the field back, which is the ability. She has to make the old lady not mind in her heart and not take this anger to her heart, otherwise this matter will be messed up.

Mrs. Gu hurriedly promised a bunch of things that she didn't have, such as she would take good care of her children and grandchildren when she turned around; When I turned back, I let my grandson take that maid as a concubine; For another example, if this kind of thing happens again, she will personally drive the unscrupulous descendants out of the Hou Mansion......

When Sang Xuanyue came to greet the old lady the next day, she ran into Wang Xiuwen, who was crying in front of the old lady.

Sang Zhuanyue always came to greet the old lady when no one was around, in order to avoid seeing a few men in the Hou Mansion as much as possible, so as not to spread some unfounded gossip.

And Wang Xiuwen, because the chaos caused by her mother's family hurt her face, she didn't want to come over when there were many people, worried that someone would say something she didn't like to hear. But she wanted to get the old lady's love, and wanted the old lady to add more makeup to her and make her face when she got married, so even if she felt ashamed, Wang Xiuwen still took advantage of the lack of people to come to Heyan Hall.

The two picked the same time, and Wang Xiuwen was half a pillar of incense kung fu earlier than Sang Twisting the moon, so the two met very skillfully.

Wang Xiuwen cried and cried, first saying that she was ashamed to have such a relative, and then said, what can I do in the future if I have such a mother's family?

The old lady knew what she meant at a glance, but you are the granddaughter of the Hou Mansion's relatives, if there is a pleading, the Hou Mansion will definitely help, and it will not leave you alone. But if you deliberately trick people and deliberately sell miserable sympathy, it will be a bit unpleasant.

The old lady was distressed and had a headache on the other. She didn't think that Xiuwen was too careful before, but now when she looks back, she finds that Xiuwen also had a lot of careful thinking before, but with Mrs. Gu taking the lead in front, their mother and daughter have the same demands, and Mrs. Gu is charging into battle in everything, so naturally Xiuwen can't be shown.

But now Xiuwen is worried that her mother's family will be hindered, and she can't wait to leave her mother's family behind and win over a more useful and powerful foreigner. This style, this scheming, this child hides her true temperament under her nose, she always thought that Xiuwen was a good one, and the clinker was also a girl inside.

The old lady's heart suddenly became uncomfortable.

At this moment, she heard the voice outside, so she couldn't wait to say, "It's the moon twisting, right?" Let her in. On this cold day, seeing that it was going to snow, why did she run over at this time? ”

Wang Xiuwen watched the old lady affectionately holding Sang Twisting Yue's hand, and the two of them were affectionate like their mothers, and they were immediately ashamed and angry.

She is still the granddaughter of the Hou Mansion, but when has the old lady ever been so close to her? But for an orphan girl who came to run, the old lady liked it very much, and she had any good things to make up for her, didn't she turn out with her elbow?

……

Because the weather is really cold, and because today is a day off, Hou Ye will come to accompany the old lady to dine later, Sang Xuanyue didn't stay long before leaving, and by the way, he also took Wang Xiuwen, who gave the old lady a headache, out.

Wang Xiuwen didn't know whether she saw through the old lady's intention of not keeping guests, or whether she also felt that it was useless to say more, and finally followed Sang Xuanyue out of the gate of Heyan Hall.

Rose Garden and Yusheng Ju are two directions on the same road, north and south, but there is always a few hundred meters of road to walk together, and the two of them talked without saying a word.

Sang Xuanyue had not had much contact with Wang Xiuwen, even if she had lived in the Hou Mansion for nearly two months, she had only met this Xiuwen girl three or five times.

In my impression, this Xiuwen girl is lovely and gentle. She always looks at people with a pair of watery eyes, and it seems that a thousand words are not spoken.

And her eyes are indeed good, expressive and transparent, as if she can speak.

But at this time, these eyes retreated from disguise and disguise, and were filled with calculation and hypocrisy.

Wang Xiuwen and Sang Xuanyue first talked about the weather, and then said where they lived, she seemed to be unintentional, and seemed to have intentions, sighed and said, "The Rose Garden is still too small, and the third sister-in-law should not have arranged Miss Sang to the Rose Garden." I have lived in the Hou Mansion for five years, and it was only after Miss Sang entered the mansion this year that I learned that there was a Rose Garden in the Hou Mansion. It's too remote over there, and I can't even touch it myself without a maid to lead the way. ”

Sang Xuanyue was neither happy nor angry, and said calmly, "This is not unusual, after all, there are more courtyards in the Hou Mansion." Again, Miss Xiuwen is busy with marriage all day long, and she has to clean up the aftermath of the wrong things done by her brother and nephews, and she doesn't have the energy to care about anything else. ”

Wang Xiuwen looked at Sang Twisting Moon with a pair of angry eyes, and couldn't believe that Sang Twisting Moon dared to expose her shortcomings.

She didn't understand at all, it was she who provoked first and poked people's lung tubes first, so why did Sang Screw Moon have to save her face?

Again, the two families already have enmity. Although the culprit is dead, the hatred should be put down, but although the old lady of the Wang family died of depression in the end, he was left with a whole corpse, and when he died, there were descendants of the family to see him off. On the other hand, the corpses of my father and mother were soaked and swelled, and even my clothes were torn, and my eldest brother was even more alive and dead.

Originally, Sang Xuanyue also thought deeply, and felt that the hatred of the previous generation should not be transferred to the next generation. She didn't want to worry too much about Wang Xiuwen and them, but as long as she saw them, the anger in her heart couldn't help but burst out.

She has been holding back her anger, and if she wants to provoke and find trouble, then come, who is afraid of whom!

Wang Xiuwen looked at Sang Zhuyue angrily, and the fire in her eyes seemed to be about to erupt. She didn't expect Sang Xuanyue to dare to say these murderous words to her, why, where did she get the confidence?

This is her grandfather's house, although her words don't have much weight, but she feels that if she wants to get rid of Sang Twist Yue, it will be a matter of one sentence.

Wang Xiuwen squinted her eyes and said with bad intentions, "Miss Sang speaks uprightly, but it's just not pleasant." Under the fence, I advised Miss Sang to think twice before speaking in the future. I am a compassionate person, for the sake of Miss Sang being a widow and living a miserable life, I don't want to worry too much about Miss Sang in everything, for fear of falling down. But if the girl is embarrassed, then don't blame me for doing things absolutely absolutely. ”

Sang Xuanyue was still not happy or sad, "How I speak, I don't need Miss Wang to teach, if Miss Wang has this leisure, it is better to teach her brothers and nephews." I'm under the fence, but you don't seem to be more noble than me. It's just that I have rules and won't cause trouble, but Miss Wang's family doesn't seem to have this self-knowledge, and they think that this is in their own house, but they don't know that the rules of the Hou Mansion are big, no matter whether the Hou Ye or the old lady, they can't tolerate the dirty people. This time, the old lady handled it gently, and there will be a next time...... I also advised Miss Wang to turn around and persuade her family not to force the old lady to do things desperately. ”

"You ......" Wang Xiuwen's eyes were cracked.

Sang Xuanyue said again, "Miss Xiuwen, to be honest, I envy you. Both my parents are dead, but you have a family. But seeing that your wedding date is approaching, but you still have to be smart, and you have to worry about the aftermath of your brothers and nephews, I pity you very much. Look at your embarrassment, and then look at myself, now I don't know if it's better to have both parents dead or to have a family. ”

Wang Xiuwen trembled with anger, and Sang Xuanyue expressed all the stuffiness in her heart, and her heart was finally much more relaxed at this time.

Since she knew that the Wang family was the enemy who killed her father and mother, she has not lived a day in tangled, grief, anger and helplessness. It was like a big rock in her chest, and she couldn't breathe all the time.

But because she had to take care of the Hou Mansion, she couldn't do anything. Not only should you suppress your true emotions, but you must also act as if nothing happened. It was so hard, she felt like she was going crazy, she was about to be tormented by the guilt of her parents!

Now it's okay, spit out all the words that have been buried in her heart for a long time, and completely tear off her face, although this thing is irrational, but she feels happy.

Sang Xuanyue said again, "Miss Xiuwen, go back and prepare for marriage." You have a lot of things to do, and so many families to take care of. I won't delay Miss Xiuwen's time here, we won't see you in the future. ”

Today is still a change, a change of two words. Don't think about a title to be happy......
