Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

At this time, Xiaodie came in from outside the house and said, "Mother, the people in the big kitchen knew that there were distinguished guests in Shou'an Hall, so they gave us some carbon after I was scared."

"Well, it will be warmer at night."

"Sister Xiaodie, take a bite of the pastries from my grandmother's yard."

"I understand, Miss Six."

"Tomorrow, put away the remaining pastries and save them for when distinguished guests come."

Minglan put a piece of pastry into the basket and pouted: "Oh."

it's dark,

There was a charcoal fire burning in the side yard, and Wei Shuyi and Xiaodie were baking the shoes and socks of the two little ones. Xiaodie glanced at the two little ones who were sleeping and whispered: "Miss, I was just listening outside the big kitchen. People who came inside said that there seemed to be something wrong with the eldest girl’s marriage.”

Wei Shuyi frowned and looked at Xiaodie and asked, "What? What's going on?"

"I heard them say that the Earl Yuan's family is about to arrive at this time. The eldest lady should have already ordered the kitchen to get busy in preparations for the wedding banquet. But now there are only things purchased in the kitchen more than ten days ago. In the past ten days, Nothing has changed at all!”

Wei Shuyi asked with a serious expression: "Is there anything else?"

"I also heard this, and when they discovered it, I had to get some charcoal fire."

"That being said, it's probably true."

Late at night,

In the brazier, the fire has gone out,

The room was dimly illuminated by dark red charcoal residue.

Wei Shuyi stood up and put on Xiaodie's cotton jacket.

Xiaodie is a kind-hearted person. Except for wearing this cotton jacket when she goes out or when it is very cold, she usually covers Wei Shuyi's legs or uses it as a quilt.

Tucked in the quilt for Minglan,

Wei Shuyi put on the cloak that Hua Lan sent him a few days ago. Wei Shuyi walked out of the house and looked at the clear and cold night sky.

There are stars in the sky, blinking in and out.

"How could such a good eldest sister encounter such a bad thing!"

After looking at the bright moon and stars for a while, Wei Shuyi returned to the house.

"Auntie, have you gone to see the stars again?" Minglan said confusedly.

"Well, go to bed tomorrow."

In the Sheng family wing,

The stove was roaring.

Feng was in a different place and couldn't sleep. Maybe she talked too much during the day and was a little excited.

In addition, knowing Mrs. Sheng's plan made her feel happy again. After all, Hualan had gained face, even better!

In the Feng family, her mother had instilled many experiences and examples of managing the inner house, but the Wang family did not have so much to do. When she came to the Sheng family, she

Oops!

That's it!

A spontaneous analysis in her mind gave her the idea to speak.

So she called her dowry mother: "Wen Ye?"

"Lady?"

"Come, talk to me."

The mother outside held a candle, poured a glass of water, and came over.

Under the dim candlelight, the master and servant chatted about people and things in the Sheng family.

"Girl, I see that this Sheng family is said to be a scholarly family, but it is also very unruly. How can a concubine raise a concubine in front of me?"

"My sister-in-law is born as a concubine! And you think my sister-in-law is willing to raise a concubine and a concubine?"

"Girl, this Shanda man has also come from hard times. I think I should love the one our old lady sent me more. Why do I love the one surnamed Lin more?"

"Hmph, you've got the right idea. He's also very powerful. Mother Qian can't handle it well, otherwise it won't be the turn of Mother Liu from my uncle's house to come over."

"Speaking of Mother Qian, the young lady surnamed Wei was sent here by the old lady. She didn't help us fight, nor did she help her own children fight. I heard from Mother Liu that she was detained in that small courtyard."

"It's not like I haven't heard of men being partial when I was in Bianjing. Do you like the same choice as your parents? If you choose someone who can know the warmth and coldness, then the preference will be even more so."

Wen Yewen's mother nodded when she heard this and said, "What the girl is saying is that if she can defeat an old lady like Mother Qian, she is not a scheming person."

"When we left at Shou'an Hall just now, from the look on my sister's face, Shanda probably went to Miss Lin's place again. But I think Miss Wei is quite smart."

"Girl, how do you think you are smart like this?"

"Miss Wei is so smart that she understands how much Shanda people care about my little sister-in-law!" Mother Wen saw Feng licking her lips and immediately handed the water to Feng while she thought quietly. No words were spoken.

After Feng finished drinking the water, Wen's mother took it and put down the tea cup.

Feng asked: "Have you figured it out?"

Wen Yewen's mother was also brought up by a wealthy family, and she was not stupid. Combined with the Wang family, she heard that she said: "Miss, you mean, you are very considerate. This man Shanda only gave two points to the eldest lady of the Sheng family. The remaining one point goes to the old lady. The remaining seven points goes to Lin Xiaoniang."

"Not bad! I see that, one part is because of our Wang family, and the other part is because of the children!"

Mother Wen looked at Ms. Feng, who was silent but still not sleepy on the bed. She continued: "Miss Wei has no family, no heirs, no money, and no one! Sheng is really fighting for two points. The eldest lady of the family and Mrs. Lin are targeting her! These two look at each other, and no one can tolerate them! She has no way to survive. In this way, she is really a smart person. "

Feng nodded and said: "A woman from an ordinary family would have been stabbed with a gun a long time ago. It is not certain whether she can survive. She is already very smart to see this step! But at this time she has to fight Otherwise, if the three kingdoms fight for hegemony in the house, the one who is destroyed first will always be the weakest one!"

"Girl, I see, Miss Wei understands that she will not touch her if she knows that she is not harmful. If she is interested, she may be waiting for her. She does not dare to act rashly!"

"Oh, what a pity. We will help the Sheng family stand up tomorrow, so let's go back."

"Then what Madam Shanda said about the eldest sister, should we send a letter to Jingzhong?"

"No need, I think Hualan is probably a blessing in disguise." Seeing Wen's mother hesitate to speak, Feng said, "Mrs. Sheng gave me a slight nod, fearing that our family's work would be in vain."

"Hiss you mean?"

"right."

"That's true"

The first day of February,

Chenshi,

On the pier outside Yangzhou City, the flag of 'Earl Zhongqin Yuan' that had just been hung was fluttering in the cold wind.

The gongs and drums team summoned by the servants who went to the Sheng family to report the news the day before yesterday were also waiting on the dock.

The red silk prepared in Bianjing began to decorate the Yuan family's ship under the stewards and servants.

The horse was taken out of the cabin, tied with red silk flowers, and ran towards Yangzhou Tongpan Mansion, not far from the dock.

Yuan Wenchun thought about his father who was unconscious in the cabin and had not yet woken up from his anger. His face was full of hesitation and regret, and there was also a trace of panic in his expression.

Standing on the bow of the ship in the cold wind, Yuan Wenchun recalled what his wife, Xiao Zhang, had just said: "Now my father-in-law has collapsed from exhaustion because he helped Erlang ask for the daughter of the Sheng family to marry him! What else will the Sheng family do?"

Yuan Wenchun's mother even said: "Our Yuan family is also an earl family in Bianjing. Marrying the daughter of a Tongpan from their Sheng family is a high-ranking marriage in their family! Give the Sheng family a step up, and the Sheng family will naturally I’ll step on it myself!”

But when we got here, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and push forward.

At this time, Mr. Zhang walked out of the cabin with his wife with a straight face and said:
