After the first assistant's wife is reborn

On the second day of little Shen Rong's first birthday, Wei Ziqian ordered someone to sort out the gift list, and picked out those officials who had little contact with each other but sent expensive gifts, and ordered them to return the gifts intact.

If the gift is mediocre, forget it.

And those merchants who were not familiar with, if the gifts they gave were of great value, they would all be returned.

Unless some gifts are sent by rich businessmen from other places and then leave Beijing, and the owner cannot be found, another booklet should be made and recorded.

Except for the valuable gifts sent by a few wealthy businessmen, they were not refunded.

Among them, of course, is Liman.

Li Man presented a two-foot-tall peach blossom porcelain carving. This carving is extremely rare. It was made by a famous Ding kiln master in the former dynasty. Priceless.

It can be seen that Li Man also spent a lot of money and gave a heart.

Xia Sichan was very satisfied with this peach blossom porcelain carving, so she told Nanny Sun to put it away carefully.

She planned to leave it to Xiao Chenrong as a dowry!
According to the previous life, Li Man's rouge pollen had already been sold to the concubines in the harem.

Nowadays, there is only one queen in the emperor's harem. No matter how the products are sent to the harem, it can't be used by only one person, and it won't take much?

In addition, within a few days of taking charge of the harem, Cui Xin became pregnant again and gave birth to a child, so it is rare to use rouge pollen.

Not to mention, there are special creams and pollen developed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Imperial Hospital for the queen's skin, which are more refined than privately made ones and more suitable for the queen.

······
A few days after little Shen Rong turned one year old, Xia Sichan received an invitation to the Xie Mansion's flower viewing banquet.

Now is the season when the spirit of spring is strong, and all kinds of flowers are competing for beauty and blooming.

For the Xie Manor's flower viewing banquet, the host is naturally Ding and her daughter, Mrs. Baoguo, Xia Sichan, who is beside her.

If this was put before, many wives of the family were unwilling to attend the banquet in the Xia Mansion, either because they had to dodge their family affairs, or they asked their sisters-in-law to come to deal with it.

There is no other reason. Officials hope to have less contact with Yan and Yushi's family members. They are deeply afraid that if they don't clean up, they will get caught in the pigtails if they do wrong things or say wrong things.

Who told her man to be the censor who corrected all the officials and cleared up the officials?

Today is different, the Xie family is married to the Xia family, who would dare not buy it?

The Xia family is now blessed by the emperor's grace, and the holy family is grand and generous, so they cannot be provoked.

Not to mention the son-in-law of the powerful chief minister!
Therefore, all those who received invitations today came to the banquet with their children.

Most of today's aristocratic wives come here for their unmarried children.

The Xie family not only has one daughter, but also two sons and a young daughter.

There are also two concubines born to concubines.

Which of these aristocratic families doesn't have many concubine children, it's really not good, it's okay to visit Xie's concubine daughter for the concubine son of the family.

After all, it is a good deal to get married with Xie's family, as long as they catch up with Xia's and Wei's families.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who know that Mrs. Xia will definitely come to the banquet. They are purely here to flatter Mrs. Xia. Who will let her son-in-law and son gain power in the court!
Most of the people who can come to this flower viewing feast are familiar people, even if they are not familiar, at least they can face each other.

Xia Sichan dressed up early in the morning, took Lu Tao and Hongyan to Xia's mansion to pick up her mother Ding, and went to Xie's mansion together.

After Lu Tao and Hongyan got out of the carriage to meet Ding, they got into Xia's carriage with Nanny Kong and Chunxiu. The two left their seats for Ding so that their mother and daughter could talk in private.

When the carriage with the logo of Duke Baoguo's Mansion creaked to a stop in front of a simple and elegant mansion, Mrs. Xie was waiting to greet their mother and daughter in front of the gate with a smile.

Xie Yushi is an old honorable family. The original ancestors were the founding fathers who fought with the founding emperor. After several generations, they gradually declined.

Now the Xie Mansion is really inconspicuous in a capital city full of dignitaries.This mansion was also bestowed by the founding emperor. It occupies a huge area, with lakes and mountains in the distance, willows and willows, full of spring.

"My mother-in-law is here, please come in." Mrs. Xia warmly greeted Mrs. Ding who was helped out of the carriage by the maid.

Ding also said politely: "Mrs. Xie."

Afterwards, Xia Sichan was also helped out of the carriage by Lu Tao, Mrs. Xie took a step forward and greeted very politely: "It's the Xia family's good fortune that Mrs. Guo can come!"

Xia Sichan hurriedly said: "Hey, what Madam Xie is talking about is from my own family, so don't meet outsiders. Besides, I am a junior, Madam Xie, please don't be polite."

Mrs. Xie was overjoyed when she saw what Xia Sichan said.He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I will listen to you and see nothing."

It's just that you must not make yourself look bad by someone's polite words of 'junior', after all, she is the wife of the chief minister of the court!

As far as she knew, this Mrs. Duchess, her daughter's future sister-in-law seldom attended banquets.

To be able to visit her to thank her family is really radiant!

In fact, Mrs. Xie only knows one thing but not the other.

When they first got married, Xia Sichan wanted to get back together.

In addition, he went out with Wei Ziqian for nearly two months.

When the husband and wife got along well, Wei Ziqian worried that she would be plotted by Chen Rui and Chen Yongzhi when she went to the banquet.

Afterwards, Wei Ziqian went on an expedition, Xia Sichan became pregnant, etc., so he didn't go out to dinner much.

Xia Sichan took Ding's arm, stepped across the threshold of the main entrance, walked around the wall photo, and walked into the veranda.

Looking around, the mansion is very large, consisting of two quadrangle courtyards with multiple entrances. Entering the door through a hand-painted verandah on one side, you can see pavilions, ponds, rocks, cornices and blue tiles, interspersed with flowers and plants, and Qushui streams Winding down the corridor.

In front of the main house, I saw a quiet girl standing with a smile, wearing a light blue skirt, her black hair hanging down her back, like smooth satin, and her appearance was very delicate. Although she didn't look too stunning, her eyebrows and eyes were particularly outstanding. , especially those lively eyes, let people know that she is not a conservative girl.

Needless to say, the person in front of him was Xie Lanzhi who secretly promised his elder brother and threw a big purse to his third brother.

Xie Lanzhi's face was slightly red, and she first saluted Ding and said: "My little girl has seen my aunt." Then she said to Xia Sichan: "My little girl has seen Mrs. Guo Gong." Her voice was as clear as jade beads falling to the ground. Smart to listen to.

"Okay, good boy, you're welcome." Ding said with a smile.

This is my future daughter-in-law, so she should be kind and not scare people or children.

Xia Sichan also said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Thank you, miss!"

As her brother's fiancée and her future sister-in-law, she naturally needs to be considerate and polite.

Mrs. Xie, who was standing by the side, saw it, and the smile on her face became stronger.

Hurry to let people into the room and sit down, and the maidservants bring fragrant tea. (end of this chapter)
