The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Zhao Xuan rushed forward in a hurry, and bowed deeply to his wife: "Madam has done a lot of hard work, and I can't thank you enough."

Facing her husband's courteous overtures, Xie smiled faintly and replied: "My husband is absurdly praised, it is my duty to be able to share my husband's worries."

After speaking, Xie put down the jade chopsticks, got up and sat down with Pingyang to chat, and Zhao Xuan also sat on the side, interjecting without saying a word.

Mrs. Xie glanced at her husband, and said: "I will discuss with Pingyang about Cousin Pei's marriage, what are you doing here, and go out for a walk."

Zhao Xuan looked at his wife, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he replied with a smile: "Since it's about my cousin's marriage, I'll also help the staff. Just tell me what you say, and I'll just listen."

Mrs. Xie glared at her husband: "We are talking about women's words here, and you are getting in the way here. Didn't Mrs. Meng order people to look for her over and over again just now? You can go to her place and have a look."

When Zhao Xuan saw that his wife was kicking him out, he couldn't hold back any longer, so he got up and went out.

Seeing his elder brother leaving, Pingyang laughed and teased Mrs. Xie and said, "How can you push people out like you? Are you not afraid that you will indulge that Mrs. Meng even more?"

Xie took a sip of tea carefully, and said nonchalantly: "No matter how capable she is, she can still pass me."

Of course, Pingyang also knew about the affairs in the brother-in-law's house. When mentioning Meng Shi, she asked Xie Shi: "You want to raise Meng Shi's child under your knees, is she not making trouble?"

How can we not make trouble." While playing with the jade bracelet in his hand, Mrs. Xie said casually: "But it's just a fight with your brother. She has no courage to come to me. I am the wife of the royal family, and I can't help her. She likes to make troubles, as long as she doesn't press on my head and follows her to make troubles, I don't bother to bother. Me, just give birth to a child and adopt it. Let her take care of herself."

Ping Yang sighed: "I really admire you. This kind of heart and wrist is not something that ordinary women can match. If it were me, I would really be pissed to death when I face people like Meng's all day long."

"If you are really pissed off, it will really make people happy." After speaking, Mrs. Xie poured tea for Pingyang and said, "That's all, let's talk about business, what's the point of going around her."

"You mentioned last time, how about the girl from the Fifth Room of the Yongyihou Mansion? Does she like Cousin Pei?"

Ping Yang replied: "I entrusted this matter to my sister-in-law. In terms of family background, Cousin Pei is naturally inferior to the Mansion of Yongyi, but their fifth wife has also taken a fancy to Cousin Pei's man. My sister-in-law said that her fifth sibling wants to find time to see each other."

Mrs. Xie supported her slightly protruding belly, and replied with a smile: "His family is sensible. Although Cousin Pei is low in terms of family background, Cousin Pei is talented and highly valued by His Majesty. He must have a bright future in the future. In comparison, it is much more helpful than those high-ranking families who have no name."

When it comes to human relationships and sophistication, the Xie family is well versed in it. The Yongyi Hou's Mansion is indeed interested in Pei Yunqian's future, but the reason why the Xie family is so enthusiastic about Pei Yunqian is that they have their own plans.

Although she is the eldest daughter-in-law and elder sister-in-law of Prince Yong's mansion, she should be more worried, but speaking of it, Pei Yunqian is just a cousin, she could have just gone through the motions, she doesn't have to work so hard, but she is as shrewd as the Xie family, and she also sees Pei Yunqian as someone who can help the palace.

Pei Yunqian has both ability and political integrity, and sooner or later he will become the emperor's confidant and close minister. What's more, he knows how to repay kindness, and values ​​love and righteousness.

Mrs. Xie heard Pingyang's words, and quickly replied: "Since my aunt is gone and my uncle is not in Beijing, cousin Pei's marriage will be arranged by me and your eldest brother. Since the Xu family agrees, you can find an opportunity. When the time comes, our two families can get together and see each other."

After speaking, Mrs. Xie took a sip of tea, and said, "It's just that the matchmaker, is it okay for your sister-in-law to do it?"

Ping Yang replied: "Brother Kun's marriage with Liu's family has been finalized, and they are going for the sixth ceremony. Sister-in-law is very busy these days, so she just needs to be a matchmaker for this matter. I will entrust someone else to be the matchmaker."

Mrs. Xie agreed, and the aunt and sister-in-law discussed it properly. After Pingyang left, Mrs. Xie ordered Yan Zhi: "Go to the warehouse and find the two horses of Suxiu that we brought from Yizhou with a stable color, and then bring my jewel box. I will choose one."

The little girl took the order and went away. After a while, several servants followed Xie's order and brought what they wanted.

Xie rummaged through the silks and satins, selected two, then opened the mahogany and precious stone box, and rummaged through them carefully.

Mrs. Xie was busy here, Zhao Xuan came in from the outside, he entered the house, took off his cloak, reached out to warm his cold hands on the fireplace, and asked his wife, "It's so late, who are you looking for these things for?"

Xie looked up at her husband, and asked, "Why are you back?"

Zhao Xuan rubbed his warmed hands, then sat down opposite his wife, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Husband is not welcome back yet?"

Xie smiled, and glared at her husband: "I'm busy, so I don't have time to grind my teeth with you."

Zhao Xuan glanced at the things his wife had picked out, and then asked, "Who are you going to give these things to?"

Mrs. Xie replied: "Didn't the sister-in-law of the Pingyang family tell Cousin Pei about her natal cousin? I wanted to give her a little gift to express my gratitude."

Zhao Xuan said disdainfully: "The two sides haven't seen each other yet, there's nothing to say, there's no need for that."

Mrs. Xie raised her head, looked at her husband, and explained patiently: "Since he offered to help, we should express it. Besides, Li Xian is now a cabinet minister, and his eldest son is also a promising young man. It is always beneficial for me to make friends with Mrs. Xu."

Zhao Xuan was puzzled, and asked: "Didn't you say that we should keep a low profile and avoid suspicion? I said that I wanted to contact my old friends, but you refused. Why do you suddenly want to go out with Mrs. Xu now?"

Mrs. Xie replied: "Li Xian is now only one step away from the chief minister of the cabinet. In the future, he will be a minister under one man and above ten thousand people. Of those old people you mentioned, who can compare with Li Xian?"

As he said that, Mrs. Xie selected two pieces of jade from the gemstone box and put them aside: "Besides, he helped us, so it's normal for me to give some small gifts."

Zhao Xuan listened to his wife's words, his eyes fell on the jade selected by his wife, and he suggested: "If you want to give it away, you should give it some good ones. These seem too frivolous."

Mrs. Xie replied: "Cousin Pei's business has not yet been completed, and the gift he gave is too heavy. On the contrary, it seems that we are deliberate." She picked up the selected jade, played with it in her hands, and said, "This kind of thing is not the most expensive, but it coincides with the engagement of his eldest son, and it is precisely this kind of jade that is needed for various jade ornaments. Therefore, it is appropriate to send this to the past."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan praised: "Madam is still thoughtful."
