Even if you have a big idea or a good idea, you have to give and give it, and it will be the way to the end.

At this point, Steward Qin admires his master very much, if this idea comes from him, if he wants to make him give up four points of profit as soon as he moves, he probably doesn't have such a 'chest' yet.

Steward Qin took note of Chu Lian's entrustment.

"Also, on the day the market opens, I'll go and have a look. ”

Of course, Steward Qin was happy, this was also an important moment to verify the results of his busy work for so many days, and getting Chu Lian's affirmation made him more proud and satisfied than letting him take a penny.

Princess Wei's birthday was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although the Wei Wangfu is still pampered, both the King of Wei and the Princess of Wei are low-key, and it is precisely because they are not arrogant or impatient, not flashy or extravagant, that Emperor Chengping attaches more importance to it.

In previous years, Princess Wei's birthday was a small gathering, and it was just a matter of holding a family banquet in the house, because she relied on the roots of the year, and she didn't want to alarm the family in Shengjing City, but this year is different, this year is Princess Wei's forty birthday.

The birthday has not yet arrived, not only King Wei, but even the Queen Mother in the palace told Princess Wei to be lively and lively this year.

Lord Duanjia was in his mother's room, accompanying his mother to write invitations.

"Mother, Chu Liu is not in the mansion again, what are you asking those people in Jing'an Bo Mansion to do!" Duanjia County Lord pouted, his face was full of displeasure, that mansion, except for Chu Liu and He Erlang, she didn't like it.

Princess Wei reluctantly 'touched' the hair of the 'daughter', "It's fifteen years old, if the prince and I are not reluctant to keep you for two more years, you are going to get married at this age, and you are still so impertinent." ”

The county lord of Duanjia pouted, "Mother, you taught me a lesson again, and I don't know what you mean, but I just don't like the lady of the prince in Jing'anbo Mansion, have you forgotten the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace?"

"Okay, you are talkative! It's just to invite them to have a meal, you don't like it anymore, it's also Jinyi's in-laws, you like Jinyi so much, if you want to continue this relationship with her, how can you avoid Jing'anbo Mansion. ”

Lord Duanjia rolled his eyes, "That's it, just follow the concubine!"

As a result, Jing'anbo Mansion received an invitation from King Wei's Mansion the next day.

Although Princess Wei's birthday is a big one, it is still low-key compared to other royal families, and there are only about a dozen families invited to Beijing in total, so this invitation is very precious, and it is also a symbol of 'friendship' with King Wei's mansion.

According to common sense, Jing'anbo Mansion can't get this invitation, in previous years, Jing'anbo Mansion had no 'friendship' with Wei Wangfu, and this time it was only because of Chu Lian's face that Princess Wei sent a post to Jing'anbo Mansion.

I don't know that the people inside will only think that this is the big face of Jing'anbo Mansion, but no, He Ying is one of them who thinks so.

He Lao Taijun attached great importance to and was happy to receive the invitation from the Wei Palace, and immediately ordered Liu Mama to prepare a congratulatory gift, He Ying followed her mother and begged for a long time, and the old lady agreed to take their mother and daughter to the Wei Wangfu to celebrate her birthday.

If it weren't for the illness of the 'female' relatives in the mansion and the grounding of the ground, Old Taijun He would not have been accompanied by juniors, and I am afraid that he would not have agreed to take He Ying's mother and 'daughter' to the Wei Mansion so easily.

Early in the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, He Ying's mother and 'daughter' got up and dressed up.

The mother and daughter now live in the wing of Qingjuntang, and the people who serve on weekdays are the maids of the old lady Qingjuntang, and the little maids are all "fine" and heart**, and it is easy to dress and match.

The aunt's 'milk' 'milk' He Ying and the 'daughter' Pan Nianzhen each brought back a maid from Siyang, the former is called Qiuyun, and the latter is called Ping 'Lu'.

Ping 'Lu' is one year older than Qiu Yun, this year is sixteen, the New Year will be seventeen, look petite and weak, I heard that before entering the house, he was taught as a thin horse in Yangzhou for a period of time.

The mother and daughter dressed up and went to the main room of Qinghui Hall together, and Mrs. He personally checked their clothes and jewelry, and made sure that there was no rudeness, so she took their mother and daughter to the Wei Palace.

The Wei Palace's guests are full of guests, and standing at the main 'gate' to welcome the guests are the most decent grandmothers and 'female' officials around the little county king and princess of the Wei Palace.

Pan Nianzhen was the first time to participate in this kind of regulated birthday banquet, in the end, she was timid, she was helped down from the carriage by the maid, and followed behind her mother and grandmother with her head down.

Mama Lan, who was beside Princess Wei, saw the old lady of Jing'anbo Mansion coming, and greeted her in person with a smile.

"The old slave said hello to the old lady. It's all old, and I have to trouble the old lady to come over, and the princess told the old slave yesterday that she shouldn't go!"

Mama Lan is the most powerful grandmother beside Princess Wei, and she has a 'female' official rank in the palace, in fact, she doesn't need to salute the noble 'women' of various families at all, and this kind of courtesy to the 'female' relatives of Jing'anbo Mansion is completely for the sake of Princess Wei's love for Chu Lian's face.

Mrs. He has lived in Beijing for so many years, and she also knows the twists and turns, she has a kind face, although she is old, it is easy for people to feel close.

"Where is the use of your greetings, it is really an honor for the old body to come to the princess's birthday banquet today, and I also ask Mama Lan to say a blessing to the princess on behalf of the old body. ”

He Ying, who was standing on the side, saw that her mother was so polite to a minion, and the disdain on her face was 'revealed'.

The person in front of him is not a princess, but just a slave, is it necessary for the mother and the lady of Yipinguo to stammer like this? Could it be that she is getting older, and the more she lives, the more she goes back?

Mama Lan is a very 'shrewd' person, and He Ying's small movements are completely in her hands.

"The old lady is really polite, the old slave will convey it when he sees the princess in a while, Ming'er will be Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know if there is news from Jinyi Xiangjun in the northern border?"

Mama Lan deliberately asked Chu Lian in front of Mrs. He at this time, and the smart person naturally immediately understood the meaning.

Mrs. He has never been a dull housewife.

At this time, where did Mama Lan really want to ask about Chu Lian's situation, Princess Wei sent two guards to Chu Lian's side, if there was really any situation to the capital, the people of Wei Wangfu would not know later than them.

mentioning Chu Lian at this moment was just to remind her that they were able to receive the invitation to 'befriend' with the Wei Wangfu because of Chu Lian's merits.

Don't forget to dig wells.

The old lady sighed, "The old body has not received any news, and I have always remembered Lian'er's child in my heart, and Princess Lao is worried." If there is any news, the old body will definitely send someone to tell the princess as soon as possible. ”

Mama Lan looked at the old lady and said politely: "Look at the old slave, this nagging will forget the hour, let the old lady stand at the mouth of the 'door' and blow the cold wind, the old slave is really damned, the old lady, it's not too early, the old slave will take you to the backyard." ”

He Ying, who was waiting on the side, was already impatient.

It wasn't until the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren got on the soft sedan arranged by the Wei Palace's palace and arrived in the inner courtyard of the palace that the old lady found an opportunity to warn the 'girl'.

"Sister Ying, what kind of eyes are you looking at just now?" said the old lady coldly.

Where is He Ying willing to be convinced, "Mother, if you say so much to an old slave of the palace, no matter how bright the clothes are, you are still a servant, and you have lost our identity in vain." ”

The old lady snorted angrily at the words of the 'female', "What do you know! She is a 'female' official in the palace!

He Ying was stunned, "That mother-in-law is a 'female' official?"

The old lady suppressed her anger, and didn't want to be angry with the 'girl' at this time, but her tone became more and more cold: "Put away your arrogance that you shouldn't have, the people who came to the birthday banquet today are either rich or expensive, if you provoke someone for me today, I will send you back to Siyang when I go back." ”

He Ying's neck shrank, and she was so frightened by the old lady, only then did she know that she was afraid.

When she used to be a girl in Jing'an Bo Mansion in Shengjing City, the status of Jing'an Bo Mansion at that time was not as prominent as it is now, and she didn't even have a title, which was won by the old uncle on the battlefield later.

So there was not much opportunity to contact the magnates of Shengjing, where would she have thought that an inconspicuous grandmother in the palace was a 'female' official registered in the palace.

The rank of the 'female' official of the Dawu Dynasty is equivalent to that of the 'woman' of the outer life, that is to say, Mama Lan is at least a seven-rank order, which is higher than her status, and the 'female' official has always been looked down upon.

After this, He Ying completely shrunk her neck in the palace today.

Pan Nianzhen, who was still a little timid behind her mother, was also shocked, Shengjing City is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, I am afraid that a stone will fall from the sky, and those who are stoned to death are all stained with half of the official characters on their bodies.

Princess Wei entertained guests in the main hall of the inner courtyard.

Today, there are many noble ladies and ladies, including several ladies from the cabinet, as well as high-ranking royal nobles.

In front of these people, even Mrs. He has no place.

She hurriedly congratulated Princess Wei on her birthday, and retreated to the outer circle with He Ying's mother and daughter.

There are several older generations of families such as Mrs. Zheng Guogong, and they also form a circle of their own.

As soon as Mrs. He sat down, the old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion greeted her and said with a smile: "In this circle, there are just a few old guys in us." After speaking, he looked at He Ying who was following behind the old lady.

The old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion and the old lady of He are handkerchiefs, and she is very clear about the affairs of their mansion for decades, she frowned slightly, and continued: "When did Sister Ying come back?"

The old lady also let go of the mustard in her heart at this time, and replied with a smile: "I came back a few days ago, so many years have passed, I don't worry about her taking her children in Siyang, and the juniors in the house are not there, and the people are old and lonely, so I want to take Sister Ying back." ”

Although the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion did not agree with Mrs. He's approach in her heart, it was always difficult to say anything in front of He Ying. She nodded, "It's okay to take it back, we're old, don't we just think that our sons and daughters can bear the knees!"

Then, the old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion looked at Pan Nianzhen who was hanging her head, "This is ......"

There is no such big girl's house in Jing'anbo Mansion, Chu Lian has seen it several times, so naturally she will not admit her mistake.

The old lady smiled, "My nephew's 'daughter' came back from Siyang with her mother." ”
