The mental state is beautiful

One day, Wang Ruoyu received a letter from his sister.

"Hualan is going to discuss marriage! The original plot is about to begin! I'm bored now, so I'll go watch the show then!"

Wang Ruoyu sent someone to call Kang Haifeng.

As soon as Kang Haifeng entered the room, he slid down skillfully and knelt accurately on the blanket.

Wang Ruoyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "My sister's eldest daughter Hualan is going to be married. I heard that my brother-in-law wants to marry Hualan to Yuan Wenshao, the second son of the Zhongqin Marquis's mansion."

"I called you here because I want you to investigate the affairs of the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion. You should understand that!"

Kang Haifeng nodded, "I understand!"

More than a dozen children of the Kang family got married one after another, and almost no one knew the situation of the young children of most families in Beijing better than Wang Ruoyu.

However, since this is the first time my sister is asking me to do something for her, it would be better to let Kang Haifeng go there.

"After you've done the investigation, draw up a table and give it to me."

Wang Ruoyu ordered Kang Haifeng to do things without any psychological burden and was justified. This was all owed by Kang Haifeng to the original owner.

Sheng family.

Madam Sheng Da received the letter from her sister and opened it quickly. Then she called Sheng Hong.

"I don't agree with the family you're looking for Hualan. I asked my sister to find out. The wife of the Marquis Zhongqin is very partial. She keeps subsidizing her family and is almost emptying the Marquis Zhongqin's mansion!"

Sheng Hong didn't care, "Yuan Wenshao is a very good kid."

Before she finished speaking, Madam Shengda was very angry. "My sister also said that Yuan Wenshao is a good kid, but Hualan will live in the back house after she marries and will have to deal with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law. Can Yuan Wenshao still disobey his own mother?"

"The eldest son of Lady Zhongqin married her niece. How could she not be partial? She can't be partial to her own niece, so she'll be partial to my Hualan!"

Sheng Hong still couldn't understand, he thought that when a woman got married, the most important thing was her husband. Sheng Hong didn't care about the trivial life in the back house, after all, he didn't care about these things in his world.

Madam Sheng and Sheng Hong disagreed, so they went to Shou'an Hall to ask the old lady for advice.

Old Madam Sheng read Wang Ruoyu's letter carefully and looked at Sheng Hong and his wife.

"The letter from my aunt is clear and objective. When a woman marries, it is not enough to just look at the husband. The other party's family is also very important. It is impossible not to deal with them!"

Madam Sheng became proud when she heard this. Sheng Hong still disagreed, but did not say it directly.

Unfortunately, Hualan got engaged to Yuan Wenshao. It turned out that Sheng Hong and Madam Sheng had told him that the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion could help him return to Beijing.

Madam Sheng has more than one daughter, Hualan. Sheng Hong's return to Beijing will be helpful for Changbai's future development and Rulan's future marriage. So Wang Ruofu compromised.

The Duke Zhongqin's mansion still sent his eldest son to deliver the betrothal gifts on behalf of his younger brother.

Wang Ruofu was furious. After all, Sheng Hong had agreed that Marquis Zhongqin and his wife would come in person, but she didn't expect the other party to change their mind at the last minute.

What's even more infuriating is that Sheng Changfeng and Bai Ye almost lost Hua Lan's betrothal goose in the pot-throwing competition. And Bai Ye proposed this bet, which was also instigated by the eldest son of the Zhongqin Marquis's mansion.

All these events showed that the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion was indifference and intimidation towards Hualan.

But the marriage had already been arranged, so Wang Ruofu could only write a letter to her sister, hoping that her sister would help take care of Hualan after she married and moved to Beijing.

Wang Ruoyu readily agreed to this small request.

At this time, Wang Ruoyu's eldest daughter Kang Yixuan was pregnant with her second child, so she prepared many items and food for pregnant women and sent them over.

Over the years, this has become a piece of cake.

With so many children, all of them are married, which means Wang Ruoyu has more grandchildren, grandsons, and granddaughters. It is simply impossible to send gifts every year.

However, Wang Ruoyu thought that when he got old, he would receive so many gifts and filial piety from children at the same time.

When she goes out in the future, she will see so many families as her in-laws, and her status is super high-ranking, how cool!

"It was so satisfying every time I helped these concubines to give birth. Wouldn't it be even more satisfying if I could lecture the younger ones when I meet them in the future? Even though it's immoral, it makes me happy! Hahaha! It feels good! Yeah~"

A few days after Hualan got married and moved to the capital, Wang Ruoyu sent an invitation to the Duke Zhongqin's mansion.

Hualan knew that her mother had asked Aunt Kang to take care of her, so she happily accepted the invitation.

When they arrived at the Kang family, they found it was a banquet. Wang Ruoyu and Hualan introduced them enthusiastically. As they went along, they found that these people were either old friends of Aunt Kang or relatives of the Kang family.

Nine cousins ​​means nine cousins-in-law's families and their in-laws and friends.

Eight cousins ​​mean the families of eight cousins-in-law and their in-laws and friends.

Hualan knew so many people at once that her brain capacity was a little insufficient. Moreover, these people were completely filial to Aunt Kang from the bottom of their hearts, and Hualan admired this aunt very much.

"It's okay if you can't remember so many people at once. You can just get to know them slowly in the future." Wang Ruoyu taught Hua Lan.

"These will be your own connections in the capital from now on. These connections will be the help you can bring to Yuan Wenshao. This is what I want to convey to the Zhongqin Marquis' Mansion."

"As long as Yuan Wenshao is not stupid, he should know how to choose! Your mother-in-law is partial to your natal family and the first wife, so you should live your own life and have your own children first."

Wang Ruoyu had put a fertility pill in the tea that Hualan had just drunk. She remembered that in the original plot, Hualan had not been pregnant for a few years after getting married, and her mother-in-law used this to make things difficult for her.

Hualan was grateful for Wang Ruoyu's careful teaching, which was something Wang Ruofu could not teach her.

"The Sheng family will move to Beijing sooner or later. Your father is a very responsible official. But you have to wait in Beijing for a few years. After all, there are so many brothers and sisters here. Even if you want to visit them in the future, you won't be able to come and visit them!"

"Yes, Hualan thanks aunt for your teachings."

After Hualan returned, she talked about what she had seen and heard today.

Lady Zhongqin was upset that she had forgotten that Wang Ruoyu was Hualan's aunt. She thought to herself, "She is a strange person. With so many concubines' sons and daughters being so filial to her, she must be someone extraordinary."

After much consideration, Lady Zhongqin decided to change her attitude towards Hualan. She thought she had no one to rely on in the capital, but she didn't expect that her aunt was so close to her.

The next day, the invitation from the Duke of Ying arrived at the Duke of Zhongqin's mansion. Although the Duke of Zhongqin's mansion was in decline, the Duke of Ying still had real power. Duke Ying was still strong and his son was also very capable. Therefore, Duke Zhongqin attached great importance to this invitation.

"This is a post from my eldest cousin. I just met her at the banquet yesterday. She said she wanted to invite me to visit the Duke of England's mansion." Hua Lan replied after reading the post.

"In that case, you can go and pack first!" Earl Zhongqin was afraid that Hualan would neglect the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, and he wanted to go to the appointment himself.

After Hualan left, Uncle Zhongqin's family considered Hualan's aunt's in-laws and were shocked by the results.

The eldest son of the Kang family married the Cui family, a noble family of the Qingliu clan. The eldest daughter of the Kang family married into the Yinggong Mansion and married the eldest son of the Yinggong Mansion. Later, she became the mistress of the Yinggong Mansion.

The in-laws of other illegitimate sons and daughters were either from middle-class officials who were still on the rise, or from noble families who were born into a poor family, or from newly wealthy families.

In short, so many families in the court are Aunt Kang’s son-in-law’s and daughter-in-law’s families, and these families have even more relatives.

The intricate network of relationships almost covers the entire officialdom.

The more Yuan Wenshao thought about it, the happier he became. If Hualan married him, these families would become his in-laws.

The eldest brother of the Yuan family felt a little uncomfortable. Originally, if he married his mother's niece, he would have won his mother's favor.

But his mother's family still relies on the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion for support, so how could they be of any help to him?

Lady Zhongqin has now completely given up the idea of ​​making things difficult for Hualan, as she has always bullied the weak and feared the strong.

On the other side, Hualan had already entered the Duke of England's mansion.

"Cousin Hualan, come quickly! We met at mother's place yesterday, but we didn't even have time to talk properly before we parted ways. You must stay with me today!"

Hualan knew this cousin Yixuan, she was her aunt's biological daughter. She had often heard her mother praise this cousin for her excellence, but when she saw her yesterday, she was astonished by her beauty.

No wonder she could become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke’s Mansion.

"I have two children now. I will take you to meet them."

Hualan followed Yixuan into the room and saw a cute baby lying in the cradle, with round eyes open, looking around curiously.

Next to the cradle sat a slightly older child, very small, watching his younger brother play attentively.

Hualan had just gotten married and was looking forward to having children. "My cousin has taken good care of these two children. They are not like other children who cry and make a fuss."

"These two children are very smart and can understand when you praise them." As soon as the words were spoken, the two babies smiled at Hualan, which directly melted Hualan's heart.

What Yixuan didn't say was that these two naughty boys also loved to cry when they were just born, but later their mother came to see them, and then they became much quieter.

At that time, she and her husband were impressed by their mother's ability to raise so many children and to raise and educate them.

Wang Ruoyu said, "It's no big deal! If you also have wisdom pills, fitness pills, beauty pills and other pills, you can do it too!"

In the days that followed, Hualan received invitations from her cousins ​​and their wives from time to time, and soon she was able to attend various banquets in the capital with ease.

Yuan Wenshao therefore loved Hualan even more, because she was not only virtuous and capable of managing the household, but also very helpful to his career.

Soon, the news that Hualan was pregnant came out. The Sheng family lived far away and had not received the letter yet.

In the capital, Aunt Kang took the lead in sending Hualan various maternity products. Other sisters followed suit, and a large number of things and pamphlets on precautions during pregnancy also arrived in Hualan's hands.
