After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 171 The attitude of the Zhenguo government
The next day, Mrs. Ma sent Aunt Cui and Aunt Ma to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to greet her, and also asked about Miss Zhou Wenjun's injury on behalf of her granddaughter.

Naturally, it was impossible for Aunt Cui and Aunt Ma to meet Mrs. Zhen Guogong, the mistress of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, but they met Mrs. Wednesday, the wife of General Wednesday.

Mrs. Zhou often went to Suzhou on Wednesday and was familiar with the Hai family, so she recognized Aunt Cui at a glance.But Aunt Ma next to her was also an acquaintance, so she couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you here too? But the fifth aunt sent you here?"

Aunt Ma smiled sheepishly: "To tell you what the Third Madam said, the old slave is working in the Hai family now. The wife has given the old slave and his family to the concubine."

Mrs. Zhou understood immediately and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hai has just returned to Chang'an, and the family is short of manpower. The fifth aunt is worried about my sister and is sharing her worries. It's okay. It's better for you and your family to go to Hai's house to do things than to stay here all the time." Farming in the village must be strong.”

The three-bedroom mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting each other, and the mother-in-law forced the daughter-in-law's confidant to go to Zhuangzi. This matter was not news in the circle of female relatives of the Zhou family.Aunt Ma has been Zhou Ma's confidant for decades. The female family members of the Zhou family have long been familiar with her face. Knowing her fate, who wouldn't express a few words of emotion?Now that she has a new place to go, Mrs. Wednesday feels happy for her.

But Mrs. Wednesday was more familiar with the Hai family, so she quickly turned to look at Aunt Cui.

Aunt Cui greeted Mrs. Zhou Zhou and mentioned that her wife had always wanted to visit her home to greet her. However, due to the rules of Zhen Guogong, he did not allow officials who had just taken office in Chang'an to visit her at home. Her husband and wife did not dare to violate it. The order from the Duke of Zhen was never sent to the Duke's office.Today I heard that Miss Wenjun of the Zhou family was back. The lady in the family repeatedly urged my wife to come and greet Miss Wenjun. My wife thought that so many days had passed and it shouldn't be a violation of the rules, so she sent her two people to come to greet her. She also wanted to I would like to say hello to Miss Wenjun. I wonder if Miss Wenjun's injury is safe?When will the third lady be free again?Madam, please come and visit me.

The Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion did have a rule not to receive visits from foreign officials. That was because in the early years, when the Zhen Guo Gong had just retreated from the frontier, it was the time when the Zhou family was at its most powerful and was the most popular in Chang'an.Not only the officials who took office from outside must come to pay a visit after entering the city, but also the military attachés who are on vacation or on official business must come to pay their respects to the Duke of Zhenguo when they enter Chang'an City.The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was full of guests every day. Someone saw it and complained to the court, which aroused the emperor's suspicion and felt that Zhenguo Duke Zhou's great achievements shocked the emperor.The Duke of Zhen Guo was impatient and often wrote to the capital to defend himself. He simply made a rule that no civil servants or military officers were allowed to come to see him when they arrived in Chang'an. The Duke of Zhen Guo's Mansion would only receive his own relatives and friends, and this was considered to have stopped.

The Hai family has stayed in Chang'an for more than ten years, so they naturally know the rules of the Zhenguo Palace. Therefore, it has been almost ten days since they returned to Chang'an, and no one from Haixi Ya has even visited Zhou Zhou's family.He just said hello to General Thursday in the Dusi Yamen, and handed over the gifts and letters that General Wednesday asked him to deliver, and that was all.On Ma's side, she is planning to wait for a while until her husband has settled down in Chang'an and is no longer considered a "newly appointed official" before sending a message to Mrs. Wednesday.Today, I borrowed Zhou Wenjun's name to complete this matter a few days ahead of schedule.

Mrs. Wednesday also knew her concerns, so she accepted the post with a smile and said: "There were so many busy things in the house a few years ago, and I'm afraid I didn't have time to entertain familiar relatives and friends. Wait until the first month, and I will post another post for your wife. Please She comes to our house for New Year’s Eve dinner. When the time comes, let her call all the children in the family, and there is no need to be outsiders. Your family is not an outsider, not to mention the decades of friendship between our two families. Just counting from the fifth aunt, we They are just relatives. Our generals never treat sea veterans as ordinary military colleagues."

Speaking of Zhou Wenjun's injury, she was sure that her eldest niece's feet were completely fine. Yesterday she entered the main courtyard with a bound. She could run and jump and was strong. She went to the school grounds early this morning with her sisters. We went to horse racing, and we were planning to invite my sisters and close friends to the other courtyard to enjoy the snow and barbecue in a few days.

Mrs. Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "Later, I will ask Wenjun to leave a post for your sister Tang, so that she can play with her." These words can only be regarded as polite words.Although Haitang got along well with Zhou Wenjun on the way back to Chang'an, she was not sure that she had become a good friend.There may not be a place for her in this kind of gathering of ladies from the Zhou family with relatives and friends.

Aunt Cui also knew this very well, so she just joked and changed the subject.The most important purpose of her coming today was to find out what the Zhenguo Palace and the Zhou family thought of the Zhou family's third wife.Will my wife commit any taboos when visiting a doctor?
Mrs. Wednesday didn't take it seriously: "I heard about that the day before yesterday. The third uncle's grandmother is indeed old and confused, and the fifth uncle is too stupid and filial. The old man is a little angry, but he won't get angry. After all, things are still going on. It's not done. The third uncle's grandmother and the fifth uncle just had such an idea and encouraged the craftsmen in the glass workshop. Now that the news has leaked, it is impossible for them to do it again. As long as they sincerely repent in the future, they will never do it again. If you commit a crime again, who can argue with your elders? As for the criticisms of the military officers and soldiers, we can't do anything about it. After all, others have their mouths. Fortunately, the news only spreads in the front and back streets for the time being, and outsiders don't know about it for a while. [-] My great-uncle and fifth uncle should not walk around in front of people for the time being. After a while, things will calm down and no one will mention it gradually."

This is the current attitude of the Zhenguo Government towards the matter of the third room.As long as Sanfang knows what they are interested in, no one will care about them.But if Sanfang is stubborn and unrepentant, that's another matter.Mrs. Zhou knew it well on Wednesday, but there was no need to mention it in front of the Hai family.

She turned to talk about Ma's wish to visit the doctor: "It's okay for your wife to go and sit in the third room. The whole thing is that the fifth aunt has suffered some injustices and is now sick again. Your wife is her only sister from her mother's family. Talking is more useful than us at this time. Let your wife comfort the fifth aunt and tell her not to be sad. Our family understands her grievances in our hearts and will definitely make the decision for her. She just needs to act according to the rules and don't fall into the trap of others. That's good. If someone bullies her unreasonably again, let her come to our house. As the wife of the clan, our family will definitely uphold justice for her."

Aunt Ma couldn't help but look happy, and she was secretly happy for her old master.Seeing Aunt Cui bow down and salute, she quickly followed her.

Afterwards, Madam Zhou sent someone to send a message to Zhou Wenjun, telling her that Haitang had sent someone to greet her.Zhou Wenjun rushed over after hearing the news. When he saw Aunt Cui, he asked her to say hello to Haitang, and said, "Since we parted in Baoji, Yuqi has been thinking about sister Haitang all the way. I made an agreement with her, and in a few days When you are a host, you must leave a message for Sister Haitang. My grandma told Sister Haitang for me that she must not go out of the city in the past few days and must come to the other courtyard to play with us. I have prepared it for her. Where’s the stuff!”

Aunt Cui smiled and agreed for Haitang.

Zhou Wenjun heard that Sanfang's fifth uncle and grandmother, Zhou Ma, was ill. She was a little surprised. She had just returned home and hadn't heard about the turmoil that Sanfang had caused the day before: "How can this be good? It's almost the Chinese New Year. This It's such an unlucky thing that I got sick at that time. I heard that sister Yijun will go home for the Chinese New Year this year. Third aunt, can you let sister Yijun come to live with me at home? She went back to the third room, but there was no one there. Can take care of her."

Mrs. Wednesday gave her an angry look.Although the Hai family also knew that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the third bedroom of the Zhou family were at odds with each other, they were all Zhou family members and they still had to cover up the shame of the third bedroom in front of guests.

Zhou Wenjun smiled and didn't care too much: "When Yijun comes back, I will ask her personally."
