But because of the contribution of Nian Xu Lao in his life, he was not deprived of his title.

However, the uncle of the Xu family was not allowed to attack the lord, and it was postponed to the second master, so that the Xu family's big house stole chickens and rice, and it was completely damaged.

This not only affected the eldest grandfather and Xu Xiaoxin himself, but also the son-in-law of the big house, and there was no way out in the future.

The Xu family crested their tails in a slippery manner, and they didn't dare to go out to participate in the banquet and socialization for a long time.

And the Zheng family, to send an apology to the Marquis of Anyong, it was Prime Minister Zheng Cheng who personally brought the three girls to the door.

Although there was someone else in the mastermind, his daughter was used, and his maid was bribed and became one of them, which almost made a big mistake.

The Zheng family is a scholarly heirloom, and his actions are not leaky, and this time it undoubtedly sounded the alarm for them.

I heard that the prime minister's wife groped for the people under her overnight so as not to appear unexpectedly again.

On the side of the Marquis of Anyong's Mansion, he was naturally extremely polite to the Zheng family who came to the door.

Don't dare to accept the apology, everything comes from the Xu family, they can't predict the prophet, and naturally they can't prevent it.

Qu Yuancheng and Zhou invited people to drink tea in a friendly manner, and asked Qu Ningxi to come out to entertain Zheng Sijun.

The two families have never had a quarrel, so there is no need to fight each other for this.

Mrs. Hu was also frightened, and she was extremely frightened when she thought about it, and she didn't have to bend her mouth to open her mouth at the moment, so she retired to her grandmother to retire to the elderly.

not only gave a generous severance pay, but also made a lot of contributions from Houfu Gongzhong, and did not treat Mama Sun for all these years.

Seeing that she couldn't go to the East Palace with her, and even the Hou Mansion didn't let her stay, she took so much silver money, but she didn't complain.

The way is not good, and it is normal for the host to have scruples.

In large families, the most taboo is that the background of the people below is complicated, and the slightest carelessness will cause trouble, she can understand.

Mrs. Hu was afraid that Qu Ningxi would not be useful, so she wanted to give away the big girl beside her.

Once you go to the East Palace, you must have a credible maid, otherwise you won't know what to do if you are sold.

As soon as she paid attention to this, she found that the situation of the Fen Qing Yuan was worrying, Fuji Min was given by the crown prince, Ginkgo was young and careless, and Ying Chu did not come long ago.

Mrs. Hu insisted on stuffing the maid to Qu Ningxi, and she could not refuse.

She said: "It's still someone who knows the roots, rest assured, and you don't have to be afraid that she will secretly obey my orders, and my grandmother is half cut into the ground, and I don't bother to toss about those." If your mother sends someone to you, I don't feel at ease. ”

Since the old lady returned to Beijing to worship the Buddha, she has taken a lot of care of this eldest granddaughter, not only because of her changing identity.

She figured it out that the future of the Hou Mansion couldn't be counted on San Lang.

It's good for a family to rely on a man, but it doesn't have to be a man to support the court.

It is now the Marquis of Anyong, and it is also thanks to Queen Qu that she has the title of Marquis.

What can be accomplished? Even, give him a good start, he can't climb up, it's all because of his temperament, he is not a smart person.

The next generation of the Hou Mansion can't just look at Qu Yunshao, and Qu Ningxi's help is indispensable to the family, not because she became the crown princess, but because she has a brain.

I'm afraid it's the most sober one in the family.

Of course, the second granddaughter looks very smart, although she is a concubine, but she knows her own position, and she also understands which direction the future road is.

Qu Chanyin will not compare with the eldest sister, many little girls can't help but be unbalanced and unconvinced when they are at home, and it is not uncommon to secretly make small temperaments and small hands.

Qu Ningxi is kind and kind, and she is good to her younger siblings, Qu Chanyin grew up with her sister since she was a child, and she has seen too much of her father's preference for her younger brother, but she will not be jealous of her sister.

She also has brains, and she can't fight for any flowers in this place of her own house.

It's better to go to the academy to study, and with the eldest sister to take care of you in the future, the marriage will go much smoother.

The most important thing for the whole family now is to keep the eldest daughter's position as the crown princess.

How could Qu Ningxi ask for the maids beside her grandmother, they were all easy for her to use, wouldn't it cause inconvenience to her for a while?

But I had no choice but to push it back, and after saying it a few times, I could only accept it in the end.

The old lady's concerns are very reasonable, she needs someone who knows the roots, and she can't rely on Ying Chu or Fuji Min to make the decisions.

The real master of these two people is Pei Yingxiao, if one day, the prince is disgusted with her, won't the two of them change?

Betting on men in everything is a self-defeating retreat, and it is absolutely undesirable.

The two people transferred by Mrs. Hu were both servants who had already passed through the work.

One of them is named Ailan, the son of the Hou Mansion, in his thirties, hardworking, simple and not stupid.

After her husband died, the Hou Mansion gave her son money to go to a private school.

The other is called Chunque, her father followed the old lady of the Qu family in his early years and later became the steward of the Hou Mansion, and her mother was not in good health, she needed someone to serve her at home, and she still hung a decoction.

And she herself promised the guards in the house, and the young couple had a daughter.

The origin of the innocence is clear, the identity is clear, and it has been allowed to be matched, so there will be no messy thoughts. Their family is living and dying with the Hou Mansion, and they are the most at ease.

The old lady gave Qu Ningxi the identity deed of these two people, and asked her to use it first, and when she got married, she would give her Chunque's father and husband's deed.

As one of the dowries.

With this steward and guard, he can act outside, take care of the shop or run errands, lest Chunque's family be taken care of by the Hou Mansion in the future.

Even Qu Ningxi couldn't say anything about this move.

Grandmother thinks long-term, so she has no worries.

She even thought that a hundred years later, Qu Yuancheng would become a couple, and she might hold on to her daughter.

Therefore, the deeds of the servants around him must all be pinched in his hands, and even if he is a maid's family, he may become a pawn in the future.

It turns out that someone has planned so much for himself, which is what it feels like.

Qu Ningxi has lived for so many years, and he can be regarded as having experienced it.

When Mrs. Hu wants to be good to anyone, she really digs out her heart and lungs, she often went into the palace to assist her daughter, and she also climbed to the queen mother.

Even now, we don't forget to send people to greet the Queen Mother from time to time.

It was the second prince who forced the palace, and the queen was implicated, but it was not abandoned, and it was not instructed by her.

The old lady thought about it, maybe after a year and a half, she would release the queen from the cold palace.

Qu Ningxi got Ailan and Chunque, and as soon as they came, they replaced what Grandma Sun had done, and they were more meticulous and proper.

As a married woman, I think about it from a slightly different perspective.

During this time, Qu Ningxi took the time to sew underwear for Pei Yingxiao, which was used when he was newly married.

She does it slowly, trying to make as many fine stitches as possible, without making mistakes.

When Chunque saw it, he felt that it was not enough.

said with a smile: "The East Palace has sent so many dowry gifts, although the Hou Mansion has given a return gift, but this is not from the young lady." ”

Ailan nodded and agreed: "It's almost the New Year, Miss can express her heart appropriately." ”

Qu Ningxi was stunned when she heard this: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Ailan smiled and said softly: "You don't have to do it yourself, let the maid or embroidery girl make a pair of shoes, or a coat, and Your Highness will be able to appreciate your heart." ”

How can an unmarried young man not exchange gifts and letters?

Of course, there must be a return and a return, one come and go, just like sugar and honey.

When Qu Ningxi heard this, he felt that it made some sense.

She only made a sachet for Pei Yingxiao before, although it was a little ugly, but he wore it.

However, it was given in the name of gratitude, and he had not given him a gift since he was married.

On the contrary, he sent a few people to her to protect her safety and save a lot of trouble.

When the concubine didn't leave the palace, she didn't have to worry about being plotted by the princess.

"Then ......" Qu Ningxi thought about the robe on Pei Yingxiao's body, embroidered with silver wire, all exquisite, it is estimated that the production time is not short, she said: "It's good to make a jade belt." ”

After choosing crystal agate and other accessories to sew on, there are fewer places that need to be embroidered, so you can give them to him before the New Year.

Seeing that she was listening to the persuasion, Alan smiled at the spring sparrow.

The two of them just came to Wei Qingyuan, of course, they are riveting to help the master, but they want to follow them permanently.

********

General Dingxuan was ordered to encircle and suppress Xiantai in the northwest, and he led tens of thousands of people to set off all the way to the west, which took nearly a month, and finally came good news.

Although the rabble in the northwest supported the second prince with a holy decree and turned the emperor of Shangjing into a puppet, this argument really could not be coaxed.

If people's hearts are uncertain, their morale is low, and what are the chances of winning against the brave and warlike General Dingxuan?

They were quickly routed and surrendered for the most part, with the remainder fleeing across the border into neighbouring Ploghan.

It's a pity that Meng Tianshi's father and son were not captured, and Pei Jingli and Ming Wu were not seen, they seemed to have been secretly assisted in escaping.

Cen Bingjun reported the matter, and he suspected that Pu Luogan had ill intentions towards Dahuan and was faintly suspected of meddling.

Emperor Tianqing ordered him to send people to stay behind and be on guard at all times.

The news came back to Shangjing, which caused people to sigh.

For the powerless and powerless ordinary people, being able to give birth to a prince and a phoenix grandson is already something that many people can't envy.

If the prince doesn't do it, the future prince won't do it, and he has to worry about the throne.

It can only be said that the human heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, and the body does not know the blessing in the midst of happiness.

No one sympathizes with Pei Jingli, they just hope that this group of people will be caught as soon as possible and that they will be stable.

Don't run around stirring up trouble and causing war.

Although the pacification of the northwest was very fast, there were bound to be casualties in the confrontation between the two armies.

Those soldiers who died unlucky will never come back.

Not to mention, more than 10 years ago, Dahuan and Donglong fought against each other for many years, and the shadow of war was still engraved on the heads of the older generation.

It's not been peaceful for many years, and everyone cherishes it.

Several heavy snowfalls this year have brought disasters to the earth, but next year will inevitably be a bumper harvest year with good wind and rain.

Towards the end of the year, the streets of Shangjing were extremely lively, and there was an endless stream of buying and selling caravans.
