Chapter 108

Not long after, Zhaoming's 25 years came to an end.

In the past 25 years since the first emperor ascended the throne, the government has generally been calm and peaceful, with the sea ban in the South China Sea and the barbarians in the Northwest pacified. At home, the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and abroad, it can also be regarded as the universal obedience, although his old man messed up the family affairs. , at the end of the day, he had to personally bestow death on his eldest son, but anyway, the report card handed over to Wanmin was not too bad.

In the first year of Taiping, the new emperor changed to the Yuan Dynasty, and officially started his own era. In the first month, there were many cumbersome etiquettes.
As the elder of the pavilion, how can the Elder Master stay out of it, and the Eldest Wife has to submit to mourning, so the first year of the Yang family in the capital was very deserted.

People who are in mourning do not come out to see guests during the Chinese New Year. The eldest wife even has to enjoy the New Year’s Eve dinner in a separate room. The Eldest Master and Seventh Lady took Seventh Concubine and Twelfth Concubine to have a few bites of food together, and everyone felt that Very boring.

In the past, during the Chinese New Year, the family was full of excitement. The Fifth Lady and the Sixth Lady were two live treasures, and Brother Nine was a big treasure.

Now there is only Seven Niangzi and one child in the family - she is not a noisy character, she is calmer than adults in dealing with things, and Brother Nine is not around, so this year will be meaningless at all.

Most of the relatives in the family also have funerals. On the first day of the new year, only the second master's family came to pay New Year's greetings, but they also resigned after sitting down: This is not Suzhou, and the second room also has many relatives in Beijing. The first day of the new year is very important to them , is quite busy.

It was also the first time that Qiniangzi met the eldest and young mistress of the second room.

The eldest wife is still in the filial piety period, so she can't participate in all festive activities. Of course, it's not good to come out to receive guests and listen to auspicious words on the first day of the new year.As the only female relative in the family, Seventh Lady naturally wanted to entertain her relatives—to be honest, she was indeed somewhat curious about Grandma Min.

People who observe filial piety generally do not go out as guests, and even try to avoid sending someone to say hello to the door. Therefore, although she has been in the capital for a month or two, she has never gotten in touch with Nanyin.After all, now that she has a body, she is more taboo about this than ordinary people, and Qin Niangzi doesn't want to act rashly. If there is something not beautiful, it will add unnecessary complaints.

She got up early in the morning to talk with the eldest wife in the main courtyard, and heard her complain that Xu Fengjia would not be able to come back for the Chinese New Year. , since going out in May last year, Xu Fengjia has not had a home for more than half a year.

When the clock struck seven times, the second bedroom family came to the door. Because the eldest wife was inconvenient to see guests, no male came to the back to say hello. Seventh lady hurriedly straightened her clothes, and then sent someone to the side courtyard to ask seventh aunt to come out. The next time I prepared tea, I went to the main room and waited for Grandma Min to come in.

Not long after, the sound of small footsteps came into the backyard, and a heroic young woman who almost had the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty stepped into the door with high spirits.

"Seventh Sister!" She called out very affectionately, and took a few steps forward to hold Seventh Lady's hand. Lianai, let me see it, I wish I could hold her in my arms and kiss her!"

Qin Niangzi was a little overwhelmed by Grandma Min's demeanor, a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, you are polite..."

Both sides greeted Li with a smile, and said a few auspicious words, and then Seventh Lady asked Grandma Min to sit in the main seat, and let Seventh Lady sit in the side seat, and the three of them chatted about some gossip.

Although Seventh Aunt is exquisite, she doesn't talk much, and Seventh Lady is not a noisy person. The whole room can hear Grandma Min's voice alone, "Listen to my mother, last time I was honored to enter the palace to salute with the class to congratulate the empress. , When I saw Concubine Ning, she was truly magnificent. Even the empress loved her charming demeanor. During the banquet, Concubine Ning was specially rewarded with three glasses of wine... None of the empresses in the palace Concubine Ning has such a big face!"

Complimenting Liu Niangzi's dignity in the palace is the best flattery, and Qi Yiniang's face burst into a smile, "Although my status is low, I brought up Concubine Ning since I was a child—this child doesn't have much talent. It's just relying on a face to please people, alas, I stumbled, unexpectedly I have such luck to serve in the palace, I am worried day and night, I am afraid that she is ignorant and offends the nobles, it is nothing if I get offended, and it will hurt the Yang family , it was her fault!"

Grandma Min's eyes flashed, and she smiled nonchalantly, "It's not about getting involved, Grandma Qiyi is worried, and Concubine Ning's temperament is pleasing, my mother often goes to the palace to talk with the Queen Mother and Concubine, and mentions Concubine Ning It is said that it is a rare pistachio in the harem, although there is no favor at the moment, but after all, the emperor has not given birth to Xiaoxiang, and after the anniversary, it will only be a matter of time!"

Seventh Yiniang and Seventh Lady exchanged glances involuntarily.

This Grandma Min is rare and transparent.

Several relatives of the Yang family are in funerals, so they can't go out if they have nothing to do. The sixth lady is not of high rank, and she can't send people out of the palace to communicate with her natal family as she likes. Stage is of course of great value to the Yang family.

Brother Min is naturally not a simple person, and this Grandma Min, it seems, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Qin Niangzi couldn't help being puzzled: Since Grandma Min is so transparent, how could she allow Nanyin to conceive before her.The bastard was born first, but in the future there will be endless troubles waiting behind...

However, this is the second room's family matter, and Qin Niangzi has no intention of commenting.

When she was in a trance, Grandma Min talked about Quan Zhongbai with Qi Yiniang again.

"You also know that my mother's health is not good, and she suffered from several illnesses in November last year. If it wasn't for the sickness, I would have visited my aunt early in the morning to say hello to my aunt - another day, after the New Year's Eve, I must Come to make amends to my aunt——this is wrong again. After all the hard work, I invited Miracle Doctor Quan to come to the door. Oh, Miracle Doctor Quan is so arrogant. As soon as his finger was on my mother's veins, he said coldly,' Shi Auntie is always on her mind and neglects to take care of herself. She always seems to be unable to enjoy food and drink. She said that my mother is in her 40s, making her blush. Ever since the short-lived Second Young Mistress passed away, the second The young master seems to be a different person. When he came to Fumai five years ago, he greeted people with a smile and made people feel like a spring breeze..."

While talking, Grandma Min looked at Qiniangzi, even Qiyiniang couldn't help but glance at Qiniangzi a few times.

Although the Elder Master has made a decision to betroth Seventh Lady to the Gui family, he is not a three-year-old child, and he has never met Gui Hanchun, so he will definitely not release the news.

Grandma Min's words were entirely out of good intentions.

Lady Seven smiled gratefully at Grandma Min, and Grandma Min clapped her hands and laughed as soon as her eyes lit up, "Look, Miss Seven of our family smiles—don't be angry Grandma Seven, she's not much worse than Concubine Ning!"

Grandma Min is really a wonderful person.

Seventh Lady was a little more enthusiastic about her, because the eldest wife had to sit quietly in another room and not meet relatives, it would be inconvenient to sit for a long time, so she got up and invited Grandma Min to have tea in the backyard.

"There are a lot of people who observe filial piety this year." She chatted with Grandma Min as she walked, "Otherwise, the first day of the new year would not be so quiet. After all, there are more relatives in Beijing than in Suzhou..."

Grandma Min looked around curiously as she walked, "Isn't that right? It's not bad for my relatives to go for a walk on the first day of the new year. The second and third days of junior high school are so busy. Even the third day of this year, I have to take Uncle, go back to the door."

When Min brother was mentioned, there was a slight impatience in her voice, as if she was talking about a disobedient puppy. Although it was not lovable, it was not easy to discard.

Seventh Lady couldn't help but look sideways.

Such a straightforward woman with northern pride, although she can't be said to be outstanding in appearance, at least she is not annoying.Her natal family is well-off... With brother Yimin's temperament, why can't he get along with her!Let Eleven Lang avoid it for fear...

"Speaking of it." She talked about the Li family with Grandma Min, "Since I went to Beijing, I haven't heard much from Mr. Li. I don't know if Eleventh Brother will take the exam next spring."
