Yan Luming grew up in the Quanchen Nalan Pearl Mansion when he was a child, his grandfather and grandmother were the domestic slaves of Nalan Mansion, and when he arrived at Yan Luming's generation, because of the generosity of the master, he was allowed to learn to read and write, and then he obtained fame, so he set up his own door and became an important member of the imperial court. When Wang Taoxin married Yan Luming, she was a witness to Nalan Mingzhu's marriage. Nalan Mingzhu promised that he would send Yan Luming back to the capital as an official, and he didn't want to have two years, he died by himself, Yan Luming lost his backer, and he has been in a slump ever since.

Wang Taoxin's mother-in-law is more than sixty years old, and she has been a slave and a maid all her life, and it is not until she relies on her son in her later years that she can be regarded as raising her eyebrows. She herself was born as a slave, but she disliked that Wang Taoxin was not a concubine, and always instigated her son to divorce Wang Taoxin and marry a full personality as a daughter-in-law.

Yan Luming studied hard day and night to gain fame when he was young, delayed his marriage, and married Wang Taoxin as a daughter-in-law at the age of forty. An old lady keeps tossing things, making the chickens and dogs at home not crooked, Wang Taoxin is not a vegetarian, coming and going, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel for three days and five days of big noise, so that Yan Luming is not a person, coaxing this side and there, every day is anxious.

On this day, Wang Taoxin got up before dawn and carefully dressed up in the house. Mrs. Yan is old and can hardly sleep at night, but she has a habit in the morning to let Wang Taoxin personally pour the night pot for herself and serve and wash. Today, Wang Taoxin was going to the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion, and she was so anxious that she forgot to go to her mother-in-law's house to serve, and Mrs. Yan was not polite, and helped the girl to scold into the courtyard.

Husband and wife are in love, Yan Luming is standing in front of the dresser, giving Wang Taoxin a thrush.

Mrs. Yan lost her husband in her early years, and she couldn't see anyone else's good, her mouth was deflated, she sat on the kang, threw the crutches, and puffed up, so that Yan Luming and Wang Taoxin looked at each other.

Wang Taoxin smiled: "Mother, it's me who is not good, I forgot to go to your house to serve, I will accompany you." Yan Luming also hurriedly agreed, and said: "Xin'er wants to go to the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion to ask for peace, you also know the rules of the royal family, Xin'er has to think about everything, you"

The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "Don't fool me, she has been there many times, but she hasn't even entered the door of Baylor Mansion." Lu Ming, you can't always protect your daughter-in-law, she is spoiled by you, and she quarreled with me in the house yesterday, I know, both of you are worried about my early death" said that his eyes were rolling tears, and he cried in a long voice: "I~good~bitter~life"

The old woman did not dislike this usual trick, and she used it for many years.

Yan Lu Ming Dynasty Wang Taoxin made a look, Wang Taoxin pouted, and his face was full of displeasure. Yan Luming secretly pinched the back of her hand again, and Wang Taoxin stepped forward, knelt in front of the old woman, and said, "Mother, don't cry, it's all mine, I'll kowtow to you." "The old woman's first hobby is to let her daughter-in-law pour a night pot for herself, and her second hobby is to watch her daughter-in-law kowtow. In short, she gave birth to a son not to support the elderly, but to have a daughter-in-law who was trampled under her feet to make up for the inferiority complex in her heart.

After a while, the old woman was satisfied, wiped two handfuls of tears, and asked, "Listen to Lu Ming, you and the Fourteenth Fujin are old acquaintances?" Wang Taoxin was still kneeling, Yan Luming was pitying, and said with a smile: "Mother, let Xin'er get up and say that the robe is wrinkled on his knees, and he will make people laugh in Baylor Mansion." The old woman glanced at her son before saying, "Get up." ”

Yan Luming stepped forward to support Wang Taoxin, and was pinched by Wang Taoxin's back, Yan Luming smiled and did not change his color, and let Taoxin bully. Taoxin replied to the old woman's words and said: "Before marrying Lu Ming, I often played with Fourteen Fujin, and I had a good friendship. "Rose is afraid that her heart will chuckle when she hears it, what does it mean to have a good friendship? I forgot your name!

The old woman changed color, pondered for a moment and said, "Take Da'an and Xiao'an with you, I heard that there is a character in Baylor Mansion who is not small, maybe we can climb up to relatives." Even Wang Taoxin wanted to "bah", but Yan Luming was there, and endured it hard.

Yan Luming said speechlessly: "Mother, Gege of the Baylor Mansion is the county lord of the emperor's eight classics, and he will marry the royal family and nobles in the future, how can we be worthy?" Besides, Da'an is only seven years old, and Xiao'an is five years old, so it's early. The old woman's eyes and nose wrinkled, and she said, "It's better to make a plan early than nothing, listen to me, take it with you, otherwise I'll be in a hurry with you!" ”

Wang Taoxin wanted to say something, but the old woman jumped off the kang and picked up the crutches and carried them in her hands.

Da'an and Xiao'an were led forward by their grandmother to ask for peace, and Wang Taoxin advised: "When you get to Baylor Mansion, you are not allowed to run around, follow your mother obediently, say everything politely, and guard the upbringing of our Yan family." Daan said respectfully: "Mother, I know, I will not trouble you." Xiao An said mischievously: "What is upbringing? Wang Taoxin saw that it was not early, and he didn't have time to explain, so he said: "Just listen to my mother's words, do you know?" ”

Xiao An shook his little brain and said, "Oh, I know." ”

Yan Luming knew that Wang Taoxin was going to the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion, so he went to his father-in-law's house overnight to borrow a large sedan chair with a high-quality green forging tweed.

Wang Taoxin understood Yan Luming's hard work, and felt very sweet and satisfied.

Before sunrise, Wang Taoxin rushed to the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion. She stopped at the porter several times, and was always despised by the eunuch who was on the concierge errand. Now that she has the handwritten post of the Fourteenth Fujin, she straightened her waist and set up a shelf for the concierge eunuch to pass the word.

As soon as the concierge eunuch received the post, his attitude immediately turned 360 degrees, and he bowed 90 degrees and said, "Wait a minute, the slave will go in and pass it on." Even so, after waiting for two quarters of an hour, the eunuch turned around and said, "Madame, please go with the servants." Wang Taoxin led Da'an with one hand and Xiao An with the other, entered through the small door next to the gate of Baylor Mansion, and walked along the foot of the wall for a quarter of an hour, before gradually seeing the bottomless woods and the roof tiles hidden among the green leaves.

Wang Taoxin has seen the world, although she is a concubine, she has been favored since she was a child, and often follows her father to the various ministers' mansions in Beijing. I have enjoyed all the pavilions and water pavilions, and I have tasted all the delicacies, but it is the first time, and I can't figure out the direction in a courtyard. The eunuch explained in a low voice, "Lord Belle is talking to the Eighth Elder Brother, the Ninth Elder Brother and the minister in the front yard, and the slave can only lead you to the wrong place, and you have taken a long detour, please forgive me." ”

Xiao An was tired and lied: "Mother, my leg hurts, hug." ”

Wang Taoxin said with a straight face: "Be obedient and go by yourself." Xiao An looked at her with an unusual complexion, and she didn't dare to make any more trouble with her mouth flattened. There is a main hall in the front yard of Baylor House, seven buildings on the left and right sides in front of the palace, five side halls in the back, seven rooms in the back bedroom, and seven buildings in the back cover. At a glance, it is like being in a painting, and the pavilions and pavilions do not know where the head is. Walk through the front yard, go around the main hall, and walk to the back yard on the west side. At this time, half an hour had passed, and even Da'an was a little irritable. Wang Taoxin couldn't help but ask: "Father-in-law, how far is it?" ”

The eunuch politely pointed forward: "If you see the purple flowers, there is it." ”

It looked very close, but it took another quarter of an hour to walk. When we arrived at the gate of a courtyard, the sun was already three poles above the sun. There were two eunuchs guarding the door, and they spoke to the eunuch in the gatehouse, and soon spread the word inside. In less than a moment, a girl with a neat head and face, dressed in silk and silver, came over with a smile and said with a smile: "Wang Fujin, please go with the slave." ”

Wang Taoxin thanked him, and Fang led his two sons inside.

The yard is very large, at least ten times that of Wang Taoxin's yard. First, there was a straight path leading to the temple, and the sides were planted with pink and white flowers, which she knew and called roses, which was the name of Wanyan roses. Flowers bloom all over the mountains, fragrant, and butterflies fly. There are small ponds on both sides of the flowers, and there are countless rugged trees with small flowers that cannot be named. She walked forward step by step, stepping on the withered petals, only to feel relaxed, jealous and envious.

When they arrived at the door of the house, the girl who led the way said, "Wang Fujin, please wait, wait for the slave and maid to enter the house and spread the word." ”

Wang Taoxin secretly smacked the rules of Baylor Mansion and said with a smile: "Girl, please." The girl didn't enter the house, but just blessed her body outside the door curtain, her voice was slightly higher by half a minute, and she said lightly and seriously: "Master, Wang Fujin has arrived." After a while, a light laugh came, and he said, "Please come in." The girl stood slightly sideways to the door and made a gesture of please, Wang Taoxin understood, climbed the stairs, and when she reached the threshold, another girl raised the curtain from the inside, and said with a smile: "Wang Fujin, please come in." ”

Wang Taoxin lifted the skirt, stepped into the house, stepped down, soft and collapsed, and then looked at it, only to know that it was a thick layer of wool blanket on the ground. Look at the surrounding furnishings, all are exquisite and elegant, magnificent, she is considered to have the eyesight of the price, just the high a few on the pot of jade carved begonia bonsai, according to the cheapest jewelry store in the capital starting price, I am afraid it will also cost hundreds of taels of silver. I remembered what I said to Rose on the street that day, and I was ashamed to be ashamed.

Turning the hall and entering the east room, Rose sat upright on the kang and said with a smile: "It's here, I've been waiting for a long time." Wang Taoxin seemed to really realize the majesty and wealth of the children of the Heavenly Family at this time, and said politely: "It's really a sin to let Fu Jin wait for a long time." He was about to kneel down and bow down, but was helped up by Rose and said with a smile: "You know, I don't like red tape the most, so let's talk as careless as we did when we were children." ”

Wang Taoxin smiled reluctantly and said, "Yes." But she responded with twelve points of spirit in her heart, she knew that even if there was a slight mistake, it would affect the frustration of her husband's officialdom, and she didn't dare and couldn't relax.
