A visit to Fangchun

The Queen Mother laughed and said: "Although the Supreme Emperor only came once that day, I think your fourth younger sister is very quiet. I asked me about her family background, and she was going to give her a marriage at that time. Later, I stopped her. The son's biological mother is still here, and although his status is not high and his temperament is the gentlest, it is hard to guarantee that he will not think about this matter for him. Therefore, I have to ask his mother's opinion first. Besides, he is seventeen this year, who Do you know if he has other girls in his heart? If there is already, we will mess up the mandarin ducks here, so as not to harm the two children for the rest of their lives? In the end, it will be your family. Although your grandmother said she was still young , didn't think about looking for her husband's family, but her brother and sister-in-law are still there, who knows if anyone has already asked others for her?"

Speaking of this, the queen mother paused, and then warned Tanchun with widened eyes: "You must not say that I am so long-winded outside!"

Tanchun laughed at what she said, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I'm sure I'm not talking nonsense! But, Queen Mother, you are very right! My daughter has never seen an old man who thinks about life-long affairs for his children. So thoughtful!"

The Empress Dowager was praised so much that her face shone brightly, her eyes circled around Tanchun several times, and she said with some regret: "Our family is honest and has the most casual temperament. The Emperor thinks your sister is good because she looks good. He's also a humble person."

Tan Chun understood what the Empress Dowager meant, her face flushed slightly, but her expression was calm, and said: "Although the temperament of our fourth younger sister looks plain, she is actually aloof. If there is any shortcoming, the only thing is that she has no mother since she was a child, so Be extra self-respecting."

The queen mother was thoughtful.

Concubine Nan'an frowned slightly, but saw Tan Chun's gaze turned to her.

Concubine Nan'an was a little puzzled. She blinked her eyes and thought about Tanchun's words three times before she realized it and smiled: "This is just right. Prince Yan is a little too talkative. The emperor said to his brothers again. They are all very lenient, if the prince is paired with a concubine who is easy to talk to, why don't the couple go to the emperor every day to help others talk about things? The girl has a bit of a temper, so it may not be bad."

The Empress Dowager thought about it, and she couldn't help but nodded: "That's right. Ji'er's mother is cowardly. When the Emperor and I leave, their mother and son will have someone to stand in their way."

At that time, if there is something that Prince Yan doesn't want to do, just push it to Xichun's three words "unwilling", and no one can say anything.

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more she felt that it was good, and after chatting for a while, she served tea with a smile on her face.

After going out to explore the spring, I thanked Concubine Nan'an: "Grandma An, thank you very much. It wasn't for your help, our fourth younger sister would not have such a good home."

Concubine Nan'an quickly waved her hand: "The matter has not been settled yet, so you can't talk about it outside. Otherwise, your sister's reputation will be ruined. After you went home, your grandmother asked and said that the Queen Mother was in a bad mood. Remember what you said that day Little snacks, I specially asked you to go into the palace and make them for her."

Tanchun felt that this excuse might not be prevaricated, but he still agreed with a smile.

Back at Jia's mansion, King Xing rushed to Jia's mother's room to ask.

Tanchun took out the words of Concubine Nan'an to prevaricate, and said: "I didn't really dare to cook for the queen mother, so I chatted with her for a while. The queen mother asked about the marriage of the second sister, and said that if it was really decided When she comes down, the old man will give her a dowry."

Mother Jia was relieved.Mrs. Xing couldn't help being beaming.

Xiu Guogong's mansion has already found someone to match the horoscope, and it is a good match.The day before yesterday, we entrusted the general's wife Wei Shi from Qi Guogong's mansion as a matchmaker, and came to propose marriage.

Mrs. Xing is worrying about how to buy a dowry for Yingchun.Fortunately, the Empress Dowager said that she would be rewarded with the grace of raising her head, which is a blessing that is unimaginable in the heavens.

Tan Chun glanced at Mrs. Wang, then laughed again: "I heard that Eldest Sister often goes to Concubine Zhen's bed to perform her filial piety recently, so the Empress Dowager's face must be rewarded to Eldest Sister."

Mrs. Wang has a bright face, so she can speak: "This is the empress dowager's honor for our family. Let's just receive the grace."

Then Mother Jia ordered Tanchun to go back and rest.After King Xing left, Tanchun changed his clothes, came over quietly again, and told about the Emperor Taishang's love for Xichun and the Empress Dowager's desire to marry Prince Yan, and whispered: "I think this is a good thing. I just don't know It’s just who said good things for our family behind the scenes.”

Surprised and delighted, Jia's mother pulled Tanchun tightly, squinting her eyes with a smile: "That's right! Come on, I have to ask someone to prepare a generous gift to thank Princess Nan'an."

Tanchun hesitated a little, and said to Jia Mu in a low voice: "Now the palace is treating our family well, which seems to be a good thing; but if our family members, because of this face, act recklessly, it will be a quick disaster." way."

Mother Jia was reminded by her, thinking of Jia Zhen's behavior, she couldn't help frowning again: "Sure enough, we must warn them about this matter."

Two days later, Mother Jia found an opportunity to call Jia Zhen over and give him a break, scolding him: "How long has your father passed away? You drink every day, and the hairpin is red and green! Three years of filial piety , if you make trouble with me, don't blame me for not giving you face as the patriarch!"

Jia Zhen just felt baffled.

Mother Jia has never cared much about the affairs of Ningguo Mansion.The last time I was scolded by Mother Jia was at Qin's funeral...

Could it be that someone said something in her old man's ear?

Jia Zhen returned to the mansion and asked Lai Da to tidy up and down the mansion, but unexpectedly found out that several relatives of the Lai family were messing around outside under the banner of Ningguo Mansion.

What kind of temper does Jia Zhen have?Now that Jia Jing and Jia Zheng are in control, he doesn't care about his past affection.Those who beat and scolded, those who did the worst, went directly to the yamen for filing, and were either kicked out or sold.

Lai Da went to Jia Zhen to beg for mercy, but Jia Zhen gritted her teeth: "Lai Da, no matter how hard your ancestors worked, they were still my Jia family's slaves. If you feel that staying in my Jia family has humiliated you, I will You can release your family's registration. But you can't allow your relatives to ruin our family's reputation outside. In the past years, we had a thicker skin, and the matter was over. But now there is a concubine in the palace, and things are getting worse Now, where do you put her face? I will never show mercy on this matter."

Lai Da left angrily.

One day later, Mammy Lai went to Mother Jia again and cried, "There is another disturbance outside, which makes it difficult for the master."

However, Mother Jia had long since wanted to ask them to leave, and she told her calmly, "Why do you do this? Why don't I ask Brother Zhen to accompany you? Or invite your relatives back?"

Mammy Lai couldn't help being dumbfounded when she heard that the tone was wrong.
