The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 146

In the early morning of the next day, it was rare for Xu Fengjia not to enter the palace, but to accompany Qin Niangzi to Xiao Cuijin to pay her respects.

It's something that Qin Niangzi has been doing for more than ten years. It's just that when she was not out of the cabinet, the eldest wife was difficult to deal with, but the house was full of unmarried girls, and there was no limit to intrigue.It's not like in Xu's house, every time I greet you, I have to deal with a bunch of brothers and sisters, as if I'm putting on a big show.

Mrs. Ni was always happy to see Xu Fengjia, and when Xu Fengjia paid respects to the ceremony, she said, "Grandma is worried about my grandson's going out." She called Xu Fengjia to sit beside her affectionately. He asked him if he had been wronged on the road, and what he had learned.

The eldest young master and the eldest young wife are still as usual, but the eldest young master looked at Xu Fengjia with a smile in his eyes.The eldest young lady had an indifferent expression on her face, she sat on the ground and stared at her toes in a daze.

Qin Niang looked on coldly, only thinking that the eldest young lady is actually very capable: not everyone can be like her and insist on rejecting the whole world.

The Fourth Young Madam is not in a good mood today, she is grumbling, and she is not as attentive as before. The Madam Tai said one sentence, and ten sentences are waiting for her. She took a seat next to the Madam Tai, and then stood by the window , looking at the blue sky outside the house.

Seventh Lady's heart skipped a beat.

The fourth young master has been at the border for more than a year. When the emperor first came to the throne, he sent him to Xuande and Niu Erye to study defense. Although Xuande is not too far away from the capital, the fourth young master is diligent and studious, and has not returned to Beijing for more than a year. .

People always want to be touched by the scene.

Seeing that Xu Fengjia was having a lively conversation with Mrs. Tai, she had a rare conversation with Mrs. Fifth Young Master.

"Once the son comes back, the whole family will be complete."

Before Fifth Young Madam could speak, Yu Ping smiled and took Seventh Lady's words. "Sister-in-law Liu forgot, fourth brother is still at the border—speaking of which, he has been there for more than a year!"

Mrs. Tai is old after all, and when she heard Yu Ping's words, she also missed the Fourth Young Master. "I don't know when Yu Qian will come back. Speaking of which, the north has been quiet for so long. It's easy to ask for a few days off during the New Year. He also has a wild temper. When he goes out, he feels lost."

Speaking of the fourth young master, the fourth young lady naturally wanted to talk, she turned around and took a few steps to sit on the seat, forced out a smile, and still looked happy, "The old ancestor is right, but you don't just go out with me Lost it? Last time I sent a letter to ask, saying that there are not many vacations, and I want to save waiting until I come back in June this year to celebrate my ancestor’s birthday, and stay for two more days.”

Although the tone of voice was still brisk, Miss Qin couldn't tell that there was clearly a hint of resentment in the attitude of the Fourth Young Madam.

Mrs. Tai was very amused, and smiled lightly, "I still have a heart, and I know how to remember grandma's birthday!"

Qin Niangzi's eyes flashed: Mrs. Fourth Young is indeed a relative of Mrs. Tai, and she can be sure of her temperament.

Mrs. Tai is a person who is scheming and scheming, and she has means. She can spend her old age peacefully, but she is still fighting against her daughter-in-law in her seventies. One can know that this person's character is probably domineering.In other words, very self-centered.

The several conflicts with Qin Niangzi were all because Qin Niangzi never showed special respect to her, and even her attitude was very negligent... The Fourth Young Master put the Chinese New Year reunion after her birthday, and Mrs. Tai listened to it of course.

When Xu Fengjia came back, although he didn't do anything, it was like throwing a stone into the pond. The originally dull situation suddenly came to life.

She glanced at Fifth Young Master again.

Xu Yujing was a little listless today. Originally, when Xu Fengjia was not around, he was the busiest person, roaring back and forth in Leshan Residence, lest others would not know the relationship between him and Mrs. Tai...

As soon as Xu Fengjia came back, Fifth Young Master's energy seemed to be overwhelmed. Although there was a slight smile on his face, no matter how you looked at it, it was all forced.

Seventh Lady looked at Xu Fengjia again.

In front of his grandmother, this young master seemed to be a different person.

Seventh Lady has always rejected the use of "gentleness" to describe Xu Fengjia. In her opinion, Xu Fengjia is extremely far away from all words that describe gentleness.It's just that at this moment, she has to admit that if Xu Fengjia is willing, he can also play a gentle and modest gentleman like jade.

Although his complexion is still as light brown as honey, and even though his mannerisms still reveal the iron-blooded aura of a soldier, just looking at the innocent smile on his lips and his gentle conversation, one can tell that he is also well-behaved. The son of the noble family, the young man in the capital, seems to be a little shy in front of his elders.

What a great actor!

Mrs. Tai's acting skills are of course not bad, she seems to care about Xu Fengjia three points more than she does to the fifth young master. If it weren't for the seventh lady who knew her a little bit, she might not be able to tell the difference. The emotion behind the smile.

"I entered the palace yesterday, did you see the emperor?" She asked Xu Fengjia with a smile, while reaching out to remove a little dust from his hair. "Did your aunt send someone out to visit you?" "The emperor had a small meeting in the Huagai Palace yesterday. I didn't have the patience to wait, so I came back first. My aunt sent two or three little eunuchs to greet you. Ask them to greet Auntie." Xu Fengjia glanced at Qin Niangzi, and then smiled at Madam Tai. "Grandmother said that, but I remembered that Yang Qi has been here for more than three months. There are many things in the harem, and I have not been able to enter the palace to greet my aunt. My aunt asked me yesterday, saying that she was accompanying the queen mother during the first month. , I couldn’t separate myself. I thought, the queen’s birthday is coming soon, and the mother is not in good health, so she will definitely not be able to enter the palace. On the first day of February, Madam Dingguohou will bring Yang Qi into the palace to pay respects. Grandmother, is it alright? "

Following Xu Fengjia's question, the atmosphere in the room seemed to tense up immediately.

Seventh Lady then looked at Fifth Young Madam nonchalantly, scrutinizing the expression on the young woman's face.

As soon as Xu Fengjia came back, the sixth room was not so quiet.

The Great Qin Palace is strictly forbidden, even if the concubine is respected, she seldom has contact with her natal family.It is even more impossible for the Xu family to hand over a sign to see the concubine anytime and anywhere. If they want to visit the concubine, they can only enter the palace during the festival.

Mrs. Xu's health is not good, and Mrs. Tai is getting old. In the past, it was the fifth young lady who came forward for such things. After all, she presided over the middle school for the Xu family, and her status would obviously overwhelm several sisters-in-law.Even in the first month of worship, she and Qin Niangzi entered the palace together.

If Xu Fengjia hadn't mentioned it specifically, the queen's birthday in February would of course be done in the same way... But according to Xu Fengjia's intentions, this time she didn't plan to bring the Fifth Young Madam into the palace.

This cannot but be said to be Liufang's counterattack against Wufang's domination of housework for many years. Although it is neither serious nor serious, it shows Liufang's attitude.

It is impossible for the fifth young lady not to understand the meaning behind this.

However, she had bright eyebrows and eyes, as if she had been prepared for a long time, and she never showed any displeasure.On the contrary, Fifth Young Master's spirit became even more sluggish, and he seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

Mrs. Tai's eyes flashed, she thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I was worried that your daughter-in-law might make mistakes in the scene due to her young age. But with Mrs. Ding Guohou taking care of her, I guess it's okay."

After all, Xu Fengjia's request is also reasonable. Although there is a suspicion of suppressing Wufang, as his eldest son, Mrs. Tai can't afford to give Wufang a head over such a trivial matter.She will only care about it seriously when the word housework is in front of her.

She looked at Qin Niangzi kindly, and smiled again, "The sixth grandson's daughter-in-law also happened to check on Concubine Ning. You have only heard her talk about her all along, but Concubine Ning never sent anyone to take you into the palace to talk. Think about it." Sister Tianlun is eager to meet each other."

Xu Fengjia looked at Mrs. Tai, then looked at Qin Niangzi and smiled, as if she didn't hear Mrs. Tai's implication at all.

As expected of Mrs. Tai, with a few casual words, she implicitly harmed Seventh Lady who used Sixth Lady as a cover to block other people's mouths all day long, but she didn't care that Sixth Lady was not so favored, and she was suspected of pulling a tiger's skin as a banner.

However, Qin Niangzi was used to her sarcastic remarks.

"Grandmother is right." She took a sip of tea, "During the New Year's pilgrimage, I wanted to see Concubine Ning, but I didn't want the empress to be pure and filial. A sickness has gone. I can't see each other, and my grandson really misses her."
