Chapter 381 Intricate Relationships

　 Silent night, morning.

As soon as the time came, Qiangwei led the people to the door of Hexiangju, when they ran into Nangong Yuaner and Li Xianger and a group of them, Qiangwei raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a sweet smile on her face, and really wanted to order some for her. Like.This face-changing game is perfect!

"Morning, big sister," Nangong Yuan'er suppressed the anger in her heart. It was because of her that she was reprimanded by her mother yesterday, but now she has to hold back to make a big deal happen.

"Good morning, big girl." Li Xiang'er smiled and nodded to say hello.

"Morning, third sister, morning, Aunt Li." Qiangwei didn't bother to talk to her, and after saying hello, she led her to the hall.

Xia Yingyun had already sat and waited early, seeing them coming in together, her eyes flashed with surprise, "Today is such a coincidence, you actually feel together."

"Greetings to mother." After seeing the ceremony, Qiangwei sat down on the side seat.

"Greetings to mother." Nangong Yuan'er smiled, as if what happened yesterday never happened at all.

"Madame Wan'an, as soon as I arrived at the door, I ran into the eldest girl and came in together." Li Xiang'er smiled and leaned over to salute, no matter how she looked, she looked like a young lady.

"Well, at the end of this month, Nangong's family is going to hold a flower banquet. At that time, my wife will send a post to Jiaohao's mansion. You should also make good preparations, and then help mother receive the guests." Xia Yingyun looked at them and said softly. explained.

Li Xiang'er's eyes flickered when she heard this, she knew the meaning of the madam's flower banquet, she just wanted to push the eldest girl to the front of others, and tell everyone that the eldest daughter of the Nangong family is back, and that girl must be 14 years old now, There are still three or four months until Jiji, Madam has already started planning for her.

"That's really great. It's been a long time since Nangong Mansion has been so lively. Now, the children should be happy too."

"Don't worry, mother, what my aunt said is right, my sisters and I will definitely help mother well." Nangong Yuan'er was overjoyed, even if she wasn't the protagonist that day, whether she can surpass it depends on her own ability.

"No wonder mother made new clothes for us. They were prepared for the flower banquet." Nangong Dieyi smiled, and she knew that trouble was coming.

"My mother has been in poor health for the past few years. In fact, it is time to hold a flower feast. Just in time for Wei Yu to come back, I decided to do it together. When the time comes, we can chat together, so we can take this opportunity to have a few more conversations." A good friend." Xia Yingyun looked at Qiangwei and patiently taught her.

"Yes." Several agreed in unison.

"In the past two days, mother will customize a set of hairstyles for you according to the color and pattern of the clothes you choose. After they are done, they will be delivered to your yard." After Xia Yingyun explained, she asked them to retreat and put the Rose stays.

Seeing everyone go out, Xia Yingyun looked at Qiangwei lovingly, "Wei Yu, grandma has been with mother since she was a child, and she is good at receiving people and things, why don't you take some time every day to learn from grandma?" Etiquette in Beijing, right?" Xia Yingyun said carefully, it's not that she doesn't like Qiangwei's upbringing, but it's always good to know more.

Seeing her mother's cautious tone, Qiangwei couldn't help but sigh, "Okay, I will follow Mother's arrangement, so I can learn the rules of the capital with my mother, so as not to embarrass Nangong Mansion. "

"Okay, it's good if you can think like this. Do you want to let Nanny go to your yard or stay at Mother's place?" Seeing Qiangwei's full promise, Xia Yingyun was relieved, her Wei Yu was really open-minded and eager to learn.

"Since I want to learn, let's do it in my yard, so as not to disturb my mother's rest."

Xia Yingyun was very happy, and asked someone to hand over the box prepared in advance to Qiangwei, "This is the headgear I prepared for you before. The styles are all in accordance with the fashion of the year. Some styles look outdated now, but the quality is not bad. Take it back and play with it, or you can keep it as a reward for the servants."

Qiangwei opened the box, and inside were some gold inlaid jade, pinched gold wire, and a few emerald hairpin headdresses. It seemed that the weight was quite large. Although the style was a bit old, the craftsmanship has not changed over the past few years. But, "Mother, is this too much, does sister Dieyi have any?"

Looking at these precious faces, Qiangwei couldn't help frowning. It was annoying enough to have Nangong Yuaner chattering in her ears now, if because of these things, there was one more person who was hostile to her around her, it would be hard for her to survive this day. Can't make it through?
"Pfft, you child, there are so many things here. Dieyi doesn't like these at ordinary times, and every year I make some jewelry for your sisters, but you haven't come back, and mother has been keeping it for you. It should be handed over to you." Xia Yingyun was pleased, thinking of her sister in everything, this is the demeanor of an elder sister.　
"Really, thank you, mother. I have worried you all these years. Don't worry, I will be filial to you in the future." Qiangwei was very moved, her mother's love was like a mountain.This made her suddenly think of Mrs. Li again. The letter she had written had already been sent out. In this backward era, she didn't know when she would receive it.

Right now is the beginning of winter, because Qiangwei agreed to her mother's request, every morning she listens to Yuge's nanny to explain the etiquette class, as well as the relationship between the clans in Beijing, and even which clan the empress in the palace comes from. , whether he is favored or not, whether there is a prince, etc., were all explained in detail by the nanny one by one.

At first, Qiangwei just listened perfunctorily, but later, listening to it, she unknowingly blended in, listening to the intricate relationship between these clans.After masturbation, I found that each article was well-founded.After Qiangwei analyzed it carefully, she found that there were four strands of rope entangled in Shangjing, intertwined with each other, and the branches were intertwined, making it easy to squint.

To put it simply, those who support the queen are regarded as one, those who support the imperial concubine are regarded as one, those who support the concubine Hui are regarded as one, of course, there is also a faction that supports the emperor, and this faction can be regarded as neutral people, no matter who is the emperor, They all embrace it.

After smoothing it out, Qiangwei looked at the nanny with doubts on her face. It is said that the Xia family has a queen in the palace, and the Nangong family should belong to the queen's branch. The relationship and identity are somewhat embarrassing and confusing.

"Mummy, seriously, which branch are we in?"

"Well, this old servant doesn't dare to talk too much. The eldest girl only needs to understand the relationship between the various clans. We women can't control the affairs of the previous dynasty, but this back house is a woman's world. It's more or less a matter of choosing who and what to make friends with. It's all about the men."
