Aunt Xue of the Red Chamber is not easy to mess with

Xue Pan was stunned, suddenly thinking of Xiangling, blushed all over his face, touched his head and smiled innocently, and did not argue with his sister.

Jia Hu is like Lin Xuan, both of whom are editors in the Hanlin Academy, and the two seem to be very close, thinking that Jia Hu has already married a wife and is about to have a child soon, but Brother Xuan is still alone. Now, why is Wang Wan not in a hurry?

After everyone left, Wang Wan pulled Lin Xuan and said, "What is your father's order? You should think about your marriage." She was really worried, but with Lin Ruhai around, she couldn't do it. his master.

"Auntie, don't worry. My son's master sent a letter earlier saying that he has a candidate, so don't rush to make an engagement for me." Lin Xuan was not in a hurry. He looked at Wang Wan and said softly, "Is my father also interested in me earlier?" Few, but because of my reputation, it's not that easy after all."

"Your master told you about marriage?" Wang Wan was shocked, but she had never heard of it before, "Do you know which family the girl is from?"

"I don't know yet." Lin Xuan shook his head, and said again: "But since it's Master's favorite, it's good to think about it."

Wang Wan frowned but nodded subconsciously, her mind paused suddenly, she seemed to understand that what Cui Ziyan was talking about could not be Chan'er, Chan'er is not young anymore and has no identity, It would be even more difficult for such a girl to talk about marriage.

Chan'er and Xuan'er are a good match, it's just that Chan'er's identity...

"Since your master knows what's in his mind, then I'm at ease." Wang Wan smiled, waved her hand, and said, "I don't need to keep something from you." Saying this, Wang Wan waved to Chan'er, She smiled and said: "This is Chan'er, who has a close relationship with your master, and is also your junior sister." Wang Wan said vaguely, and did not point it out. It is more appropriate for Cui Ziyan to say such a thing.

Lin Xuan didn't stay for long, he explained to Daiyu again, and then left. Wang Wan rubbed her shoulders and sighed slightly.

"Ma'am, how long are we going to live here?" Tong Wen patted Wang Wan's shoulder lightly, and asked doubtfully. Although this Jia's mansion looks more grand, it is not as comfortable as my own home after all.

"What? Want to go back?" Wang Wan smiled, but tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "It's only been a few days, and it happens that our yard hasn't been tidied up yet. If we live in it now, it will inevitably be sweltering."

"But if the wife is in Jia's house, it will be inconvenient after all." Qiu Yun walked in with a stack of posts, and said: "Madam, this is the post sent by the housekeeper just now, Mrs. Tang and the princess of the county have it." Sent a post."

Wang Wan said with a smile, "I haven't seen Yunhui for many years, and I don't know how things are going now?"

"After October, the Zheng family will have a filial piety, and the marriage of the eldest brother of the Tang family should not be far away." Tong Wen smiled, and said: "I guess Mrs. Tang is probably because of this. .”

"It's a good thing. You should open the warehouse to have a look and prepare gifts." Wang Wan said with a smile, "By the way, what date did Yun Hui post say?"

"Madam Tang invited his wife three days later. She said that the lotus in the garden was just in bloom, and she asked her to go and enjoy the flowers."

"It's a hot day." Wang Wan curled her lips, "What about Princess Dong'an?" She tilted her head wonderingly, and said, "We don't have any friendship with Princess Andong, do we?" What about the princess's post?

"The time arranged by the concubine of the county is a bit earlier, that is, tomorrow, let the wife take our girls. I heard that most of the ladies in Beijing have been invited." Qiuyun guessed: "I am thinking, The princess of the county probably wants to see our girl."

"It's also possible." Wang Wan nodded and sighed. In her opinion, this girl is still a child, and now she is going to be led to be seen by others. No matter how she thinks about it, she feels a little aggrieved.

"There are also the wives of the Xia family of the Li family in Beijing, and the wives of the Chen family of the He family who have all sent posts. The servants have all been sent back. They only said that they are posting posts to the wives after the yard is repaired. " Tongwen's voice was crisp, and she explained everything clearly, and then she said cheerfully: "I am thinking, we are guests in Jia's house after all. It would be a bit bad if we invited people to be guests. Now, it's better to wait until the wife is done with work for a while before going to see them, it's not out of courtesy, isn't it?"

Wang Wan nodded, rubbed the center of her brows, and said: "Although they are merchants, most of them lead imperial servants. They are not bad from our Xue family, so don't offend them."

"Don't worry, madam." Tong Wen smiled.

While talking here, Qiuyue opened the curtain, walked in, and said with a smile: "Madam, guess who is here." Before Wang Wan could speak, she said cheerfully, "Sister Qiaozhu is here and is waiting outside. It's on."

"It's really ignorant." Wang Wan gave her a reproachful look, and said, "Hurry up and come in when you come, what are you doing standing outside, your sister is not in the same body now, what should I do if the heat is severe ?!"

"Ma'am, you have wronged your servant. It was my sister who said that the rules are like this." Qiuyue laughed, and Qiaozhu walked in quickly.

"My ancestor, you can treat yourself to snacks." Wang Wan sighed, "You have a big belly now, why are you becoming more irritable?"

"Your servant is happy to see my wife." Qiaozhu curled her lips, she was always steady, but now her eyes were red, and said: "My servant has been with my wife since I was a child, but I have never been away from my wife for so long."

"We got married after all." Wang Wan also felt a little uncomfortable. Ever since she came to this world, Qiao Cui Qiao Zhu has been with her. It is more appropriate to say that she is a sister rather than a slave .

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Wan could tell that she was doing well. She was always reassuring, and she had always been serious and responsible in the Treasures Pavilion all these years, treating the Treasures Pavilion as her own shop Compared with other shops, the Qizhen Pavilion is more important to Wang Wan, so she can rest assured that Qiaozhu will take care of the Qizhen Pavilion.

"By the way, madam." Qiaozhu frowned, and said softly, "Madam, do you still remember sister Yi?"

Wang Wan thought for a moment, then nodded, and sighed: "I don't remember anything." It's just that the death of Sister Rong had something to do with the Wang family. Can only give some money.

"Sister Yi became a concubine in Prince Zhongshun's residence, and she is very favored." Qiaozhu said seriously: "Now she has a son, Princess Zhongshun has no heirs yet, this child is the eldest son of the prince."

"It's also her fate." Wang Wan said lightly, it's her own fortune to live well, and it's her fate to live poorly.

"But ma'am, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Qiao Zhu said anxiously, "Sister Yi may have resentment towards the Wang family, even my wife may have hated it too."

Wang Wan bowed her head in silence for a moment, subconsciously twirled the bracelet on her wrist with her fingers, and said after a while: "Don't worry about her, even if she resents the Wang family in her heart, it's the Wang family's fault." Consequences.

A concubine, even if she is favored again, so what?But it can only cause some disturbances in the back house, but it has nothing to do with others.

It's just that she didn't expect that the attack would come so quickly.

Many people were invited to the banquet of the princess of Dong'an County. When Wang Wan was brought in by the mother-in-law, there were some standing in twos and threes in the attic. , you are familiar with the third lady of her family, you will play with her after a while, don't run around, save yourself."

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter knows the seriousness." Baochai pouted and said with a smile, "I thought I would see Sanniang in a few days."

Wang Wan smiled, gave Baochai a haircut, and said: "San Niang is stable and often stays in the capital. She is also a young lady of an aristocratic family. If you follow her, you will save yourself from being bullied."

Baochai pursed her lips, and she also knew that her identity was not worthy of recognition in the eyes of these noble ladies, a daughter of a merchant, I am afraid that others would not even take a look at her, but neither would she Take it to heart.

After Xu Yunhui came, Wang Wan hurried forward with Baochai, and said with a smile, "Sister is here. If there is no sister to lead, sister still doesn't know how to deal with herself." She never evaded Regarding his own identity, he joked: "I'm going to trouble my sister today, I hope my sister won't dislike her."

"You are the only one who is talkative." Xu Yunhui glanced at her reproachfully, and said, "Young girl Bao is also a big girl now, look, this little face is getting more and more handsome." Girl, said: "San Niang and Si Niang, come." Then she smiled at San Niang and said, "Don't you always talk about Sister Bao?"

It happened that a girl came and said that the girls were all in the garden and asked them to go there together. Yunhui explained to Sanniang before letting them leave.

Wang Wan watched the three little girls leave, looked at Xu Yunhui and said, "Si Niang..."

Xu Yunhui sighed and said, "Aunt Liu has gone."

Wang Wan nodded, and didn't say anything, but turned to a wry smile and said: "I didn't expect that I would receive the post from the princess of the county."

"The concubine of the county has invited all the ladies in Beijing this time, so I'm afraid she wants to see her first."

Wang Wan frowned, glanced left and right, and said: "This is the general election soon, the princess of the county sees each other at this time?" Wouldn't it be disrespectful.

"I heard that Princess Guangde will be here today." Xu Yunhui said in a low voice, "So the princess of the county just invited a few ladies she is familiar with."

Wang Wan frowned in confusion, only to hear Xu Yunhui say again: "I'm afraid it's the intention of the palace to let the eldest princess go."

Only then did Wang Wan nod her head, but she didn't ask any further questions. It's better not to know some things.

Just as I was talking here, I heard a woman say in surprise: "Sister?"

Wang Wan raised her head in surprise, and saw Shi Shi leading a girl, looking at her in surprise.

"Sister-in-law?" Wang Wan stood up, and after Xu Yunhui said hello to Shi Shi, she smiled and said, "It's a coincidence." She looked at the girl behind Shi Shi as she spoke, and it was obvious that she was the new lady. The clothes were tailored, but the jewelry on her head was not newly made, she was thin and small, a little shy, Xu Yunhui didn't show it on the face, but she already had cares in her heart.

"I didn't expect my sister to have such a face when she first came here?" Shi Shi glanced at Xu Yunhui and smiled at Wang Wan.

"I never thought of it." Wang Wan raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't hear the meaning of her words.

Shi Shi was also aware of his tone, and quickly said with a smile: "I'm also happy for my sister, isn't it, but your brother often talks about you, so I'll come back tomorrow to have a look."

Wang Wan nodded, and said: "The house in Beijing hasn't been tidied up yet, and I'm temporarily staying at my sister's house."

Shi Shi nodded with a smile and said: "It's good for you sisters to be closer." He pulled the girl beside him and said: "This is Sister Yan. She is raised at home on weekdays and doesn't go out much."

Wang Wan pursed her lips. When this girl was born, she also saved it, but she never saw it. The woman was very beautiful, but it was a pity that she couldn't survive the delivery. Wang Ziteng was a little annoyed by this child, Shi shi hated that woman even more, so no one took care of the child after it was born, not even a full moon.

Xu Yunhui told the girl to bring Sister Yan to Sanniang, and they walked towards the house.

The banquet had already been set up in the room, Shi Shi was not with Wang Wan, but arranged her place next to Xu Yunhui, Wang Wan was a little surprised, it seems that the princess of the county put some thought into it.

Although the Xu family in Shandong is a rich family, after all, there are fewer Xu family officials in the court, so their status is also middle-level.

The princess of Andong County was very happy to see her. She was dressed in a bright red dress, and her face was full of extravagance, which was extraordinarily eye-catching.

Because they are all wives of aristocratic families, they are all somewhat arrogant. They sit there reservedly, listening to the babbling voices singing on the stage not far away, and whispering from time to time.

But at this moment, the little girl hurried to Princess Andong and said, "Princess Zhongshun is here."

When Princess Andong heard this, she stood up quickly, and said with a smile, "Why is she here? Didn't she not be able to tell?" Her tone was full of resentment, and she seemed very familiar.

A woman sitting next to her smiled and said, "Since you're here, you, the master, should go and greet you."

Princess Andong nodded and walked out, but the other wives couldn't sit still anymore, and followed suit.

Wang Wan had to stand up and follow Xu Yunhui, but she didn't want to hear Xu Yunhui gasp when she saw the figure just now, Wang Wan looked out in surprise, and saw a woman in pale pink embroidered clothes standing next to Princess Zhongshun. The gorgeous woman in the red chrysanthemum collared palace gown and emerald gold waffles wrapped around her head is none other than her cousin, Queen Jiang Yi.
