take a wife to support the family

Chapter 468

Except for the Forbidden City, the style of Xinwang Mansion is the only one in the world. The old couple of the Li bamboo craftsman stepped into the boundary of the Wangfu for the first time, and saw the majestic and dignified house. Although there are many servants coming and going, they are all respectful, and they don’t even smell a cough. , They couldn't help being in awe.

Zhu's heart was a little proud and arrogant: her daughter gave birth to two lovable grandsons to Prince Xin's Mansion!Although it's not due to her old man, but if she hadn't given birth to a big girl, where would there be Ruzhen and Ruchun brothers now?Therefore, Mrs. Zhu was inexplicably proud and wanted to show off in front of Princess Xin.

Unexpectedly, before she reached the flower hall, she was overwhelmed by the arrogance of the prince's mansion. The arrogance was like a puff of smoke blown away by the strong wind, which made her dare not even breathe out.

Seeing that the guest of honor sits down, the old couple seem to be in a cloud of mist, their noses sniffing the faint fragrance, their eyes looking at the room full of beautiful silk, Hugh said that Zhu's eyeballs are not enough, Even the craftsman Li Mi kept beating drums in his heart, for fear that the palace would look down on their countryman spirit, and implicating his daughter would not favor his parents-in-law.

One of the most disgusting things in this world is being rich and being unkind and bullying others.But being rich and honored to the mansion of Prince Xin, there is no need to deceive others, even if King Xin treats others with modesty and courtesy, who would dare to look down on him?
King Xin and Princess Xin also met the tenants on the farm in the past, and they changed the elegant words into common sayings, and they talked with the old couple of Li bamboo sticks, asking and answering.

King Xin asked more about people's livelihood, how much grain they harvested a year, and whether they could afford to buy salt.Concubine Xin talked more, chatting with Zhu's family, asking Li's family how to live, how are Lily's brothers and sisters, how are Ruzhen and Ruchun doing ridiculous things, etc.

Mrs. Zhu weighed it carefully, she always thought about a sentence three times before she said it, even though it was a bit vulgar, she didn't make people look bad, it was her luck.

While answering, Mrs. Zhu peeked at Princess Xin, thinking that this empress is about the same age as her, why does she look so young?Don't say it's a person with grandchildren, if you put it outside for people to see, if you say it's the sister-in-law of a big girl, some people will believe it.

Mrs. Zhu was born beautiful when she was young, and now she still has some traces of beauty, but compared with Concubine Xin, that is compared with the flawless and beautiful jade. Mrs. Zhu couldn't help feeling ashamed, and said that she would let the big girl get some good things when she turned around. To use it, not to mention being comparable to the princess, you can't be so humble, and you can't hold your head up for nothing.

Xin Wang and his wife wanted to meet their in-laws, but it was just a matter of etiquette. After all, there was a big gap in knowledge and background between the two parties, so how could they get together?

Frightened by the situation of the palace, the couple of Li bamboo craftsmen did not dare to say a word. They dared not answer a question, and shut up when they did not ask.

To find a topic, we had to talk about Song Haonian's husband and wife and two children, Princess Zhou laughed and said: "My mother-in-law raised her daughter well, and our family Zhaoren is very skinny, so I sent her to live with her second sister-in-law for a while, this time I come back , It really has grown."

Mrs. Zhu didn't know what it means to be modest, and she didn't know Zhaoren's purpose in going to Taiping County. Following the words of Princess Zhou, she said: "Everyone around the big girl is ordinary, but she knows how to live. The princess is still young, and she can always learn to learn." .”

Lily couldn't laugh or cry: "Mother, how can you talk like that?" Then she said to the princess, "Mother, don't tease my mother, she has a real heart, she can recognize a screwdriver as a needle."

Princess Zhou smiled and said, "I praise you from the bottom of my heart, it's not nonsense."

After talking for a while, Concubine Zhou said: "Brother Xuan, daughter-in-law, take your parents to sit in your yard, and later hold a banquet to entertain the two relatives. If you want to arrange to stay, you and Brother Jiong's daughter-in-law make the decision. Can."

Lily said: "Then I will first thank my mother and concubine for their hospitality on behalf of my parents. I plan to keep them for one night and send them back to my brother's house tomorrow."

Qingsong and his wife also followed, it was not their turn to talk here, they just stood aside obediently, when Lily mentioned Qingsong, Qingsong smiled and said: "Tomorrow I will still be on errand, let Yueniang come pick me up."

When Baihe took her parents and brothers out, Princess Zhou smiled and said: "I said Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law is a folk saying that good bamboo shoots out of bad bamboos. You must have a history, but now you can see it?"

Xin Wang said with a smile: "You have a good hexagram. The appearance of brother Xuan's daughter-in-law is really not taught by this couple. Our brother Xuan is also lucky. We can find wives in the countryside. A top-notch one. But looking at her brother, she looks more like a sister than a mother."

Lily didn't know that her parents-in-law praised her behind her back, and brought the old couple into her yard. This yard was not as majestic and magnificent as the main house, but it was spacious and spacious, and it was very comfortably decorated.

As soon as Mrs. Zhu got here, she relaxed and said with a smile, "Where is my grandson?"

"Ruzhen is looking for his brothers to play, but Ruchun is in the house." Lily was talking, Ruchun slowly moved out of the room, stood firmly by the door frame, Wenwen called grandma quietly, Zhu was so happy No, pick up the grandson and rub it for a while.

Carpenter Li was still in a daze: "We didn't say anything wrong, right? Don't annoy them, you won't be good if you are annoyed."

Bai He sat down by the craftsman Li and asked someone to bring tea to him, "Father, you didn't see it? Both the prince and the empress are very good people, and you won't bother me with such trivial matters anymore. You can rest assured. The one in front of me I vigorously remind you to be careful, but I am afraid that I will be rude and lose face, the prince and the others really don't care about it."

Qingsong has frequent exchanges with Prince Xin's mansion, and she testified to his sister: "The prince and the empress cannot be more loving, I just listened to it, and the parents didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, so don't worry."

Lily talked to Yueniang again: "It is said that tomorrow will come to pick him up, why don't you stay in the mansion today, and go back together tomorrow. Qingsong still needs to be on duty, so I won't keep him."

Yueniang looked at Qingsong with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid that he will go to someone's house alone, and no one will send him away for board and lodging."

Qingsong also said: "Sister, my daughter-in-law will naturally come with me, you just keep your parents."

Lily smiled, thinking that it would not be easy for the young couple not to be disturbed by outsiders, so she stopped pursuing it.

At that time, the old couple of Li bamboo craftsmen packed up, and the princess came to invite someone. The Taoist banquet was ready, and all the people crowded out again and went to the garden.

At this time, the sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms are just beginning to bloom, and the fragrance is sweet and sweet, and it penetrates into people's noses. It is the most elegant to set up a banquet in the garden to taste the flowers and crabs.

Ruchun stretched out her small hand to ask for flowers, Song Haonian deliberately ignored him, Ruchun had no choice but to call: "Father, Hua!"

Song Haonian stretched out his hand to fold a sweet-scented osmanthus, and Ruchun squeezed it in his hand to play with it, and could not stop smelling it on the tip of his nose, his face full of intoxication.Ruzhen followed Prince Xin, and from afar excitedly called his parents, grandparents, grandparents, grandparents, aunts, aunts, and brothers, and called everyone present. He alone was more lively than ten Ruchuns.

Ruchun walked towards her elder brother seriously, the two brothers hugged each other, Ruchun stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus into Ruzhen's skirt, Ruchun smelled it, smelled it, and kissed Ruchun face to face, Ruchun hated it and avoided it, Ruzhen If you insist on chasing after your relatives, you will laugh out loud.

Hetang, Hemo, and Hanfang knew more about the rules, but they were very itchy to see their younger brother playing around, and then took a look at Shizi Concubine, so they had to sit down obediently, hoping that they could play for a while when Zizi's mother was away.

Adults eat steamed crabs with ginger vinegar, which tastes the umami, and paired with hot wine, even a god would not change it on this day.Children can't eat too cold food, and there are crabs stuffed with oranges, which can also satisfy their cravings.

Turning back, Mrs. Zhu and Baihe said: "Look, this is the food in the palace. You cook those country dishes all day long. People who don't know will think you are a countryman."

"I'm originally from the country." Lily said, "What's wrong with the country food? Your son-in-law likes it, and I like it too. What's wrong?"

Since there are only people who eat, there is no one who controls people for food. Lily's family can afford delicacies from mountains and seas, and they can also cook home-cooked dishes. Everything is just for fun. Isn't it smarter than those who only know big fish and big meat?

Mrs. Zhu has always said that she can't speak to her daughter. Taking advantage of her son's leaving and no one around, she pulled Qingsong and whispered: "Are there many houses in this palace?"

Qingsong didn't react for a while, and said casually: "The prince is the emperor's brother, what kind of house is there? I heard from my sister that I will allocate a big house to live with you and dad later, and you will really come to the capital to enjoy the blessings."

Mrs. Zhu curled her lips and said: "The one who enjoys it is still the daughter's blessing, and I want to enjoy the son's blessing."

Qingsong said with a smile: "It's easy for you to enjoy the blessings of your son all the time. Wait for another five or six years, when my official rank is raised and my salary is higher, and I can save my money for a bigger house, so you can live in more space."

Mrs. Zhu pinched his son's arm: "You idiot, there is a ready-made house! I have inquired in the past few days, and the house in the capital is extremely expensive. If you save money by yourself, when do you have to save it?"

The smile on Qingsong's face suddenly disappeared: "Mom, what do you mean?"

Zhu Shi pointed to the direction of Lily's house, and Qingsong became more and more frustrated: "Mother, my eldest sister is the daughter-in-law of the palace."

"Because she is the daughter-in-law of the royal family, a little leak from the seam of her hands will be enough for you for several years. The family always says they love you, but it's because they see you living in such a narrow house, and they don't even want to buy you a house." , according to me, the big girl also has a lot of flamboyant lips."

Qingsong couldn't laugh or cry: "Mom! I'm a man, can I ask my sister to help me in everything?"

Mrs. Zhu didn't think so, obviously she felt that Baihe should help Qingsong, since she became the daughter-in-law of Prince Xin's Mansion, it would not be difficult for her to take out a courtyard of Prince Xin's Mansion and give it to Qingsong.

Qingsong said: "Don't forget the original thing. My eldest sister was not the daughter-in-law of the Wangfu, and you just wanted her to use money to subsidize her mother's family. When will you be happy? The one who is the head of the Wangfu is not the eldest sister, don't be wrong. .”

Mrs. Zhu didn't know that Baihe had the right idea, and it was difficult for her to win favor with Lily, but seeing that Wang Xin's mansion was so vast, and her son lived in a small courtyard, she felt very distressed, so she naturally wanted to encourage Qingsong: "She doesn't like to hear Mine, you can tell her, as long as she loves you, she will give you a house."

Qingsong was angry: "I'm a man!"
