Within two days, Mrs. Hu brought Hu Jie to visit again.

This time I came in the morning and talked for half the morning.

"...Do you still remember the old lady of Yongxi Hou Mansion?" Mrs. Hu asked Song Pan'er with a smile, "I went to pay her respects the day before yesterday, and she also said that you and Miss Seven were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day as our Jie'er." Miss, it really is fate. If you are free tomorrow, shall we go and pay her a visit?"

Song Pan'er narrowed her eyes and thought about it.

She is not familiar with the Hu family.

That year's old lady of the Hu family's birthday banquet, Song Pan'er took Gu Jinzhi there because her sister-in-law was ill.

Then, Gu Jinzhi splashed tea all over Hu Jie's face.

The people from the Hu family went to the Gu family to file a complaint, and the eldest lady asked Song Pan'er to say a few words about Gu Jinzhi.

Song Pan'er was furious, saying that the children of the Hu family were rude first.

Seeing that she was about to quarrel, the eldest lady stopped talking and comforted her with kind words.

Afterwards, Song Pan'er hated Yongxihou's mansion in his heart.

After hitting that, never went there again.

The Hu family didn't invite her either.

Later, I went to Jiangnan.

"The old lady has a good memory." Song Pan'er said, "I'm afraid you remember the fight between my sister and Miss Hu?"

Mrs. Hu was upset for a while.

Song Pan'er really cares about everything.

"The two boys in my family can't be apart for a moment. How can I have time to hang out?" Song Pan'er said again, "Please pay my respects to the old lady for me."

Then he smiled and said, "You haven't seen my two boys, have you?"

Mrs. Hu smiled awkwardly and said no.

She hasn't given a gift yet.

Song Pan'er asked the maid to call the wet nurse.Take out Brother Yu and Brother Xun, and show them to Mrs. Hu.

Little Shiyu is very cute. For more than two months, his hands have become a little heavy, and his cheeks are plump, as if they are about to fall off; Little Shiyu is crying all day long, eating very little, Still skinny, not half as good as Brother Yu.

Mrs. Hu praised once, and took out her purse.Sent two children each with a purse.

Seeing Song Pan'er still thinking about the old grievances of the past.Unwilling to go to Hu's house, Mrs. Hu had no choice but to get up and leave.

Before leaving, Song Pan'er said politely: "Come here often. We have lived in Yanling Mansion for five or six years, and our relationship is different from others. I am not in good health. I dare not go out when I am so old. If I catch the cold, I will die." It’s gone. I’ll go to your side again when the spring warms up.”

At first, there was some affection.

Ever since Hu Jie fell ill, Mrs. Hu had used up all her good impressions.

Song Pan'er is only superficially affectionate to her now.How could Mrs. Hu not know?

She smiled and said, "Then don't think I'm annoying. I'll come here often in the future."

"It's too late for me to like it." Song Pan'er smiled.

After being polite, Mrs. Hu and Hu Jie were sent off. Song Pan'er played with the children for a while, and when she was tired, she went back to the back room and took a nap for a quarter of an hour.

She didn't tell Gu Jinzhi about it either.

Mrs. Hu couldn't please Song Pan'er, and went to Yongxihou's mansion the next day, euphemistically explaining Song Pan'er's meaning: "She wants to come here, but her body is not good. She is so old and gave birth to twins. The loss was severe. It was said that it was cold outside, and she felt weak as soon as she went out, so she dared not move, and begged the old lady for forgiveness. I will come to say hello to the old lady when the spring is warmer."

Mrs. Hu has always been clever in front of Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Hu. Whether this statement is true or not, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Yongxi Hou Mansion don't think about it.

Mrs. Yongxi Hou said: "Thank you. Stay here for dinner today. A wild grouse was loosed outside just now..."

Mrs. Hu declined.

Mrs. Yongxi Hou stayed with her sincerely.

In the end, she had no choice but to stay and have a meal with Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Hu before returning to her home.

Compared to Yongxi Hou's mansion, compared to the house where Song Pan'er lives now, the Hu family's courtyard in the capital is really tight and pitiful.

It's just a small courtyard, with about ten rooms in front and back, son, daughter, Hu Zeyu and his wife, and a room full of servant girls, so crowded that they couldn't move their feet.

"...Zhuoer should also say kiss." Mrs. Hu sighed, and said to Hu Zeyu, "When the time comes, the daughter-in-law will come in, our yard is so small, what should we do! I really shouldn't come back from Yanling Mansion .”

Their house in Yanling Mansion is not very nice, but it is spacious and grand.

Now back in Beijing, the house is small and small, and Mrs. Hu feels inferior everywhere.

"Thinking so far!" Hu Zeyu smiled, "Zhuo'er has no fame yet. When he becomes a talent, he will naturally have what he should have."

Hu Zeyu still has some land and savings in his hands. If his son really wants to get married and buy another big house, he can still afford it.

It's just that it's not necessary now, so I don't want to spend this wrong money.

Hu Zhuo ended in the spring of this year, losing his name to Sun Shan, not even a scholar.

He studied hard and did solid homework, which was highly praised by his teacher.Every time Hu Zeyu took Hu Zhuo's exams, Hu Zhuo's answers were excellent, and he was always sure about a scholar.

But a few days before the exam, the child had a cold and a fever.

When I got into the examination room, it was still burning, and I didn't know where to go, and passed out when I left the examination room.

Every time Hu Zeyu thinks about it, he feels that Hu Zhuo's luck is not good, and his heart hurts.

When Hu Zhuo was mentioned, Mrs. Hu also shut up.

It's not that Hu Zhuo doesn't work hard, it's that God doesn't want to help...

——*——*——*——

When Mrs. Hu left from the Yongxi Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hu smiled and said to the old lady: "I really feel uncomfortable if I really want to associate with Mrs. Song. I heard that she is extremely jealous and has no regard for decency..."

She said Song Pan'er was a street shrew.

The old lady thought for a while, but said nothing.

Madam Hu thought of Gu Jinzhi again: "...that Miss Seven, who poured hot tea all over Jie'er's face, is also a difficult person to get along with."

"You don't care if they get along well or not!" Mrs. Hu said to her daughter-in-law with a smile, "The Queen Mother likes them. You can flatter them a little and keep in touch. What's wrong? I heard that Miss Seven is very skilled in medicine. In the future Maybe she is needed. Pave more roads, and there will always be times when we can walk in the future.

Back then, Lord Hou looked down on the big and small guys on East Street, saying that they were brought up by lowly people.I only know how to curry favor.

I still said that the child can talk and wink, and I am afraid that he will be a character in the future.Because he is an ancestor, give him a few taels of silver to help him, and he is grateful.Now, isn't that kid really an official?The achievements of his Yanling Mansion were praised by the emperor, and it was said that the brother of Lord Hou's family had meritorious service in his recommendation.I also rewarded Lord Hou once. "

Big boy on East Street.It was Hu Zeyu.

Hu Zeyu's father lived on the East Street behind Yongxihou's Mansion at that time.

Mrs. Hu laughed: "You are old and far-sighted, how can a daughter-in-law compare? Or, I will post the post myself and invite the mother and daughter of the Gu family?"

Mrs. Hu smiled.Slowly said: "There is no need to praise them like this! Now. It's just that the Queen Mother likes it. How many years can I like it? After a while, it will fade away, and maybe I will forget it. After all, there is no family background. People like us, keep their heads down and leave. Invite them. They don't know how many catties their bones weigh! They get arrogant first, thinking that we are flattering them..."

Madam Hu hurriedly said yes.

In the evening, Hu Zehan, Marquis of Yongxi, came back from court.

He came to pay respects to the old lady, still full of anger.

Mrs. Hu asked him, "Who made Lord Hou angry?"

The old lady also looked concerned.

Marquis Yongxi said bitterly: "It's not Gu Yantao! He is so unreasonable!"

"What's the matter with Mr. Gu Ge?" The old lady asked with a smile, "You are also the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. If you are so angry, the emperor should say that you are not calm."

Marquis Yongxi took a sip of tea, calmed down the anger in his heart one by one, then slowed down his voice, and said: "The prefect of Shuntian Mansion has been buried. The emperor asked to select a prefect. I originally followed The emperor said my people, and the emperor agreed, but the appointment was made early this morning, and it was replaced by Gu Yantao's people!"

Shuntian Prefecture is different from prefects in other places.

The governors of Shuntian Mansion are all selected by the emperor himself. Although it is difficult to be an official, the emperor's political achievements are easy to see in the eyes of the emperor. With a little merit, he will be promoted to the sixth department in the future.

It's a great springboard.

The former governors were all Xia Shoufu's people.

Xia Shoufu didn't know how many disciples he had promoted into the sixth department through Shuntian Mansion.

Now, Xia Shoufu fell ill, and Gu Yantao was not the first assistant yet, so he began to install people in the court.

Yongxihou is the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and he originally agreed to his disciples in Shuntian mansion.

Now, he is not only embarrassing in front of his students, but also ridiculed by the ministers.

"I and the Gu family are at odds!" After Yongxihou finished speaking, he shouted angrily.

Then, my stomach growled.

He hurriedly got up, apologized, and went to clean the room.

The old lady didn't know why, she looked at her daughter-in-law in surprise: "What's the matter, Master Hou?"

Mrs. Hu sighed, and said: "Yesterday I was drinking outside, who knows what unclean food I ate, I vomited once last night and woke up twice. Today, I went to court and said that I will be fine at noon and go to the Imperial Hospital Boil the medicine and drink it. I'm afraid it's still not good..."

Having a stomachache is no big deal.

The old lady's heart was relieved, and she said to Mrs. Hu: "Master Hou is almost forty, you don't care about drinking outside, you should persuade him more, and take care of yourself. I really like listening to a song , what is it worth raising two at home?"

Mrs. Hu said repeatedly: "Daughter-in-law will persuade Lord Hou more in the future."

The old lady just nodded.

Hearing the tone of Marquis Yongxi, he had another conflict with Gu Yantao on court affairs.

Then, if you invite the third mother and daughter of the Gu family to be guests, you have to let it go for now.

Marquis Yongxi went to clean the house and didn't come back for a long time.

Mrs. Hu thought of something again, and said to the old lady: "...that Jie'er on the East Street, I saw her the day before yesterday, and she looks even more striking. My natal nephew should also be at the age of marriage, I was just about to ask I ask you..."

Mrs. Hu snorted coldly: "What cats and dogs? You dragged her to your mother's house too? That Jie'er, I praised her since childhood. Now that Boy Yu is an official and relies on Lord Hou, I am worried that there are no good-looking daughters in the family. I I want to use her. You should give it to your natal nephew, a daughter-in-law of the right family."

Madam Hu's face flushed immediately, and she said yes in a low voice.
