Chapter 67: Jealousy

Thank you for the long comment of the little bird 344846030!

Xiyan was also happy, the third grandmother could think of the third young master, so as soon as she was happy, she took out all Chu Lian's snacks and packed them, several delicate blue cloth bags, even if you add that small jar of light shadow shredded beef, it is not much, so it has to be wrapped in a small one.

Mama Gui looked left and right and felt that it was too little, so she couldn't take it, so she made her own decision and added a gourd of wine made by Chu Lian a few days ago and put it together, so when she saw it, Mama Gui was satisfied.

Poor Chu Lian didn't know that all his snacks were offered by Xi Yan, and even half of the two jars of hard-won wine were missing.

When the letter and things from the third grandmother to the third young master were ready to be delivered to the front yard, the entire Jing'an Bo Mansion knew that Chu Lian was going to send a huge letter to He Sanlang.

The housekeeper also showed off in front of the stewards, and the huge envelope of the third grandmother was handmade by him on the spot!

Mrs. He, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Jing Anbo, and the prince of Jing Anbo's mansion all smiled with relief when they heard this.

Praise this San Lang for marrying a good daughter-in-law!

So, even the family letters sent to He Changdi by the elders praised Chu Lian for being sensible and filial, I am afraid that except for the sister-in-law Zou, there is no one who does not say good things for Chu Lian.

The letters and belongings from Jing'anbo Mansion were soon sent to the north.

In the study room of the Jin Palace, Tang Yan, who is usually funny, has already lost his smile, his face is solemn, and he first glanced at the King of Jin, who was sitting on the main throne and closed his eyes.

"Your Highness, the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have sent news that those black-clothed people who were captured alive have all been killed overnight. ”

King Jin suddenly opened his eyes, which were very different from ordinary people.

"What clues can you find?"

"All the men in black have black pottery patterns printed on their left arms, and after conducting an autopsy, it is suspected that this is the secret method of the palace of the previous dynasty to control the dead. Tang Yan's eyes narrowed as he spoke.

"You send someone to continue to investigate, and by the way, find out the details of Defeng Teahouse. ”

Tang Yan was ordered to leave.

King Jin's slender hand tapped lightly on the table in front of him.

The originally shallow pupils also make people feel a lot deeper.

Everything that happened in the Defeng Teahouse was replayed in King Jin's mind, and he did not forget the fact that Chu Lian recognized his identity at a glance at that time.

Although he is a son of the royal family, and he is the fourth son of the emperor, he is not favored among the princes, his mother died early, and the power of his grandfather's family is low, which is even more useless.

He is now eighteen, two years earlier has opened his teeth to build a mansion, after moving out of the palace, except for the two monthly court meetings, he does not often enter the palace, in the early years, he and He Changdi often went to and from the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing, so he is familiar with many military attaches in the court, otherwise he would not be able to help He Changdi lay the foundation for the border army in Liangzhou.

But as we all know, the Dawu Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, so not many people in Beijing cared about his contact with military attachΓ©s.

Because of the different relationship between the pupils, Emperor Chengping of the current saint has already said in private that the throne will not be passed on to a prince of foreign blood like him, so King Jin has never thought of competing for that high position since he was a child, which is also the main reason why he left the palace early to seal the king.

In two years, after he gets married, it is very likely that he will be sent to the fiefdom. Now in Beijing, it's just a hard time.

King Jin's eyes are very different from ordinary people, which can be said to be a taboo in the royal family, and he lives in a simple place on weekdays, except for a few important ministers in the court, not many people know about his differences.

Even if others know, no one dares to talk about it, no matter how unfavored King Jin is, he is also the prince of the royal family, and he is the blood of the emperor.

But that's it, Chu Lian guessed his identity as soon as he saw him.

You must know that before Chu Liu got married, she was just an unfavored lady in the British government, I am afraid that she will not have the opportunity to participate in a few high-level banquets, and He Saburo is even more unlikely to mention himself to her, looking at He Saburo's attitude these days, he seems to be the person who will say these heartfelt words to Chu Liu?

There was nothing wrong with him going to Defeng Teahouse that day, but the glance that Chu Lian looked at him when he rushed out of the private room next door clearly recognized him.

Now it's interesting.

He Saburo, ah, He Saburo, you are really lucky, you married such an interesting wife, not only have a connection with a foreign man, but it seems that there are many things to hide.

However, what Chu Liu's thoughts were, King Jin didn't care for the time being, but Chu Lian asked the maidservants around him to find the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to come in time to save his life, which is a fact.

King Jin is a man who repays his kindness.

He will not lose Chu Lian's credit because of his friend He Changdi's relationship.

Chu Lian spent two days in the mansion, and she had already begun to consider the reorganization plan of returning to Linju. I waited for two days to ask Mrs. He to go to Guilinju to see it in person.

Soon it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the government has begun to prepare the Mid-Autumn Festival one after another, and the hot weather has dropped a little because of the two autumn rains, and it has become a lot cooler.

In the morning, he had a morning meal in Songtao Garden, and Chu Lian went to Qinghui Hall to greet Mrs. He as usual, and happened to meet his sister-in-law Zou Shi.

He Lao Taijun took a sip of tea, maybe it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sencha that Lao Taijun drank today added some sun-dried chrysanthemum petals, which had a fresh taste.

Mrs. He looked at the chrysanthemum petals floating in the tea bowl, and suddenly thought of something, so she said casually: "Seeing that it is about to enter autumn, it is time for all the courtyards to buy clothes, Dalang daughter-in-law, do you have any arrangements?"

Zou just picked up the tea bowl, but he didn't expect Mrs. He to mention this matter, and hurriedly replied: "Let grandmother worry about it, the lady in charge of the sewing room mentioned this matter to me yesterday, grandmother rest assured, I have already arranged it, and this season's new clothes are the most popular styles in Shengjing City." ”

Saying that, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Chu Lian sitting opposite, his eyes froze, and he suddenly added: "The third brother and sister just passed the door this year, and they are the same age as flowers, so I made three more sets of clothes for the third brother and sister, I don't know what grandmother has to explain?"

It seems that Zou's answer is what satisfies Mrs. He, "Well, it's still Dalang's daughter-in-law who thinks thoughtfully." San Lang is not in the house, but we as elders should take care of her little girl. According to my grandmother, when I went back to buy jewelry in each room, I also bought two more sets for Saburo's daughter-in-law. ”

"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law knows. Although Zou replied like this, there was a faint amount of resentment in his heart, making a few more sets of clothes for Chu Lian was already beyond the regulations, and he actually had to make more jewelry for her.

Even if a set of clothes is a good fabric, it is only a few dozen taels of silver.

But a set of jewelry, to say the least, costs one or two hundred taels! This is not the best.

Thinking about this expense, because Old Taijun He would have to pay an extra five or six hundred taels of silver all of a sudden, Zou was not happy in his heart, and Old Taijun didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were if he didn't have a family.

The Zhuangzi shops in the public property of Jing'an Bo Mansion do not have much harvest in a year.

And now none of the masters of Jing'an Bo Mansion can operate, and in addition to the normal use and favor in the mansion every year, there is actually not much money left.

When Mrs. Jing Anbo's private property is used up, her medicine money will still be transferred to the public school, one thousand taels a month, but it is not a small amount, and I am afraid that this family will be even more difficult to manage at that time.

Thinking that when she first entered the Jing'an Mansion, Mrs. He had never favored her like this, and the Zou family became more and more bitter and jealous in her heart.

Chu Lian sat aside and wanted to open her mouth, but where did she have the right to speak, she saw the change in her sister-in-law Zou's eyes, and her heart was bitter.

Oh, dear grandmother, aren't you causing me trouble!

Add jewelry, this big room hasn't been added yet, where is their turn to be in the third room.

Chu Lian opened his mouth, and just as he was about to excuse himself, he was blocked by Mrs. He, "San Lang's daughter-in-law is young, it is time to dress up, a few sets of heads, it doesn't cost much silver, and the silver money in our house is still more than enough." ”

After the old lady finished speaking, her eyes glanced at Chu Lian's abdomen twice.

Chu Lian choked, and couldn't say anything......

What else can I say, the words were blocked by the old lady.

Over there, the Zou family had been paying attention to Mrs. He, and when he saw Mrs. He's eyes, he was even more shocked.

A mouthful of stuffy breath blocked in his chest, he couldn't go up or down, and his face instantly turned red.

When Chu Lian and Zou went to Mrs. Jing'anbo's courtyard to ask for peace, Mrs. He summoned her confidant Zhou Mama and asked softly, "Is there any movement over there of the third daughter-in-law?"

Mama Zhou's face stiffened, and she replied in embarrassment: "Yesterday, I heard that the third grandmother just came to the monthly letter. ”

Mrs. He's face was suddenly full of disappointment, and it seemed that the great-grandson she had been looking forward to for many years had failed again.

Mama Zhou comforted, "Old lady, although the third grandmother is from the British government, but after the young couple got married, the third young master only stayed at home for a few days, where is it so easy to have children." ”

Mrs. He sighed and said in frustration: "You're right, it's me who looks at it." ”

Chu Lian left Mrs. Jing Anbo's courtyard first, and Zou was left by her mother-in-law to speak.

"Mother, what's the matter with you?"

Mrs. Jing Anbo's face was pale, leaning on the head of the bed, coughing twice from time to time, she took Zou's hand, and said slowly: "The season is about to change, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are more and more things to be busy in the house, but I am tired of you." ”

"What the mother said, this is what the daughter-in-law should do. Zou was relieved by his mother-in-law's words, and the breath that was held out in Qingyun Hall also dispersed a lot, revealing a comfortable smile.

"My mother is also a family, I know that I am tired, and you must pay attention to your body when you are busy. ”

"Well, mother, I know. ”

After a pause, Mrs. Jing Anbo finally spoke, "After all, the third daughter-in-law has just passed the door, you, the sister-in-law, take care of her more, and give her more clothes and jewelry for the change of seasons." ”

The Zou family, who was still in good breath just now, was about to explode in his chest in an instant.

The mother-in-law said good things about Xi before, it turned out to be a foreshadowing for this sentence, hehe! It's really good! The elders of the Yifu all thought about Sanfang, isn't it because San Lang went to the north, but San Lang himself was going, and the blame can only be blamed for Chu Lian not keeping him.

Now she has to make up for it, so who will make it up to her!

They are all the daughters-in-law of Jing'an Bo Mansion!
