When Xu Jinghan was buying wine at home, Xu Miaoyun also entertained Wang Jin's family in the palace. After all, she was the future husband's family of Princess Taining, and they were also relatives of the emperor after marriage. Bo Rang hosted a banquet for Wang Chi, Wang Jin and Wang Jin. brothers, while Xu Miaojun entertained Mrs. Wang and Wang Jin's sisters and sisters-in-law.

Wang Jin has two older brothers and two younger sisters, and these children are all born to Mrs. Wang. I heard that Wang Chi's room is only occupied by the two aunts who served him when he was young. Only then did Madam understand that Madam Wang should also be responsible for this.

Mrs. Wang is very beautiful. The eldest son is in his 20s. She is also in her early [-]s, but she still has a charming style. When I was old, I changed to sapphire blue, lake green, and old-fashioned colors like Chu color.

Mrs. Wang wore a rose-red beige embroidered with gold and hundreds of flowers and butterflies. Because it was winter, there was a circle of rabbit fur on the neckline and cuffs, and she wore a phoenix hairpin with a ruby ​​on her head. She looked at most 30 years old. In his early years, he wasn't old at all.

Moreover, Xu Miaoyun could tell that Mrs. Wang was very shrewd and good at planning, and her words were pungent. Even if she faced Xu Miaoyun with a more respectful attitude, the things in her bones would not change.

And Wang Jin's older sister Wang Yan and second younger sister Wang Ru also inherited Mrs. Wang's beauty. The 17-year-old Wang Yan is very similar to Mrs. Wang, while the 14-year-old Wang Ru is a bit introverted and uncomfortable with bound hands and feet. The wife's two daughters-in-law lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye, unable to see anything.

A group of people saluted Xu Miaoyun, Xu Miaoyun smiled and asked someone to help him up.Then he offered a seat and said with a smile: "From now on, we will be a family. We don't need these etiquettes, but we will be born after worshiping."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "No wonder everyone says that the empress is kind-hearted and tolerant. Now you know it at the first sight. Although the empress treats us decently, we still have to abide by the rules. Otherwise, people will only say that our Wang family married When a princess becomes a daughter-in-law, she becomes insolent."

Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "I think Mrs. Wang is the one who understands the truth. Princess Taining is the first princess of the first emperor, the emperor's aunt. Although she is not very old, she is also the elder of the emperor. Now she is discussing marriage with the Wang family. , from now on, you will be her mother-in-law, and you can be regarded as my elder, if you can avoid some etiquette, if others know it, what can they say? It’s just some sour words.”

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Since the empress is so considerate of the minister's wife, the minister's wife will not shy away from some words. It is the honor of our royal family to honor the princess. But we are also worried in our hearts. Since we want to accept the grace and handle the marriage The bustle and bustle, and I am afraid that people will gossip, saying that the Wang family is a high-ranking, although the husband of the minister's wife is the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, he can be regarded as a high-ranking official, but there are many people waiting to find out the wrong. Before entering Beijing, I couldn't hear it. Don't gossip. I have to swallow my anger, now that the empress is so considerate, I am grateful."

Xu Miaoyun heard the meaning of Mrs. Wang's words, smiled, and said: "I remember that when the first emperor's aunt, Princess Ningde, was married, the other party was just a small official in Taichang Temple. Later, she was canonized as Rong Enhou, which was also for Princess Ningde. Grace, with this precedent, it is logical that Mr. Wang should also be granted an official title."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and her daughter and daughter-in-law also knelt on the ground: "My wife must never dare to have such a thought, and I ask the empress to check it out."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "I understand what Ma'am means. No matter whether there is or not, there will always be what should be, but what should not be given will not be given. After all, we still have to follow the rules."

Someone helped Mrs. Wang up again, and asked Wang Yan and Wang Ru: "Have you ever betrothed to someone else?"

Mrs. Wang was much more cautious in her words this time, and she said with a smile: "My wife loves these two daughters very much, so I want to stay for two more years, but I didn't say anything about them.

Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "Your two daughters look like fairy daughters. There must be many people who come to ask for marriage. Madam, don't be too picky. If you keep it carefully, you will become enemies."

Mrs. Wang laughed, looking at her two daughters with loving eyes: "As long as they marry well and live a comfortable life, the minister's wife is not picky."

Xu Miaoyun asked Wang Jin's two sister-in-laws again. The eldest sister-in-law Zhang was very good at talking, and the second sister-in-law Chen was a little flustered. Xu Miaoyun noticed Mrs. Wang's frowning expression for a moment, as if she was very dissatisfied with Chen's daughter-in-law of.

Mrs. Zhang gave birth to two sons and a daughter, Mrs. Chen only gave birth to one son, and Wang Jin was the youngest son. Mrs. Wang should not be in a hurry to have a grandson after marriage, and Taining's pressure on the heirs can be reduced.

After talking for a while, there was a decree from the Empress Dowager, saying that Mrs. Wang stayed in the palace for dinner, so naturally Xu Miaoyun would accompany her, but both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager gave gifts.It's also a kind of reward.

Regardless of the honorable status of the Empress Dowager, her mood of marrying her daughter is no different from that of other mothers, and she is extremely reluctant. When she goes to see the Wang family, she always feels that nothing is good at all, but when things come to an end, she still does it subconsciously. It's meant to please Mrs. Wang, after all, she is Taining's future mother-in-law.

Although as Taining, there is no need to establish rules to serve her mother-in-law, but it is best to be able to please her mother-in-law, so that it is easier for husband and wife to live in harmony, otherwise, the empress dowager's arrogance and arrogance will not bother to deal with a Shaan What about Governor Kim's wife?

The noon banquet was held in the Spring and Autumn Pavilion. When you open the window, you will see a large forest of red plums. Now some of the early plums have bloomed, and there are scattered ones. Although they are not as gorgeous as when they were in full bloom, they have a special view.

Mrs. Wang was eloquent and flattering, so Xu Miaoyun drank two more glasses of wine, and Xiujuan came to persuade her: "The emperor told you that your body is not suitable for drinking."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "This is the recklessness of the minister's wife." Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "Drink two cups lightly, it will not hinder."

After the banquet in the afternoon, Mrs. Wang took her daughter and daughter-in-law to leave, and Xu Miaoyun returned to Fengyi Palace. Unexpectedly, Bo Rang had already returned and was playing with Xiaoxian. Xiaoxian lay on his stomach, rising and falling with Borang's breathing.

Xiao Xian looked at Bo Rang ignorantly, and Bo Rang, who was attracted by his small appearance, laughed out loud and moved his body.Xiao Xian was about to slide down, Bo Rang stretched out his arms to hug him, and laughed even harder, but Xiao Xian curled his lips and began to cry.

The nanny shrank her hands at the side, wanting to hug him, but she didn't dare. Just in time, Xu Miaoyun came in, and quickly snatched Xiaoxian into her arms to coax him, then glared at Borang: "Why are you recruiting him? He won't take a nap after making a fuss And your hand, it’s still not healed, the imperial doctor said you can’t use force.” He coaxed Xiaoxian softly.

With a smile on his lips, Bo Rang looked at this scene tenderly, but Xiao Xian slowly calmed down in his mother's arms, his little nose still twitching.But her head arched towards Xu Miaoyun's chest.

Xu Miaoyun was very embarrassed, she fed Xiaoxian a few times during confinement, compared with the nanny, Xiaoxian liked his mother's arms more, so every time Xu Miaoyun hugged him, he thought he was going to feed him.

The nurse rushed forward to carry Xiaoxian down to nurse, but her hand hadn't touched Xiaoxian yet.Xiaoxian burst into tears, as if he was wronged.Xu Miaoyun hurriedly carried him into the Nuan Pavilion, lifted up her skirt to let the little devil suck in her mouth, and then slowly stopped crying.

Bo Rang followed in and said, "It's not okay to spoil him like this, let the nanny coax him."

Xu Miaoyun naturally felt sorry for the child and refused to cry: "He is only so old, you have to wait until you are three years old if you want to put on a strict father's airs. Otherwise, I will not obey."

Borang was very helpless: "It's not that he doesn't have a nanny, he is also condoned by you."

Xu Miaoyun didn't eat anything to promote lactation during confinement.He only focused on regaining his figure, and the milk was also intermittent during the confinement period, but now it has long since disappeared. Xiaoxian sucked for a while and burst into tears when he saw that he had nothing to eat.

Bo Rang frowned and looked at him, wishing he could throw it out and call the nanny to take him away. Xu Miaoyun obediently gave Xiaoxian to the nanny to feed him, and said: "Is the smell of wine on me smelling him? I drank two more glasses."

Bo Rang hugged her in his arms, tidied her clothes slowly, took the opportunity to touch her a few more times, met Xu Miaoyun's eyes, pushed him away and said, "How is Mr. Wang?"

Bo Rang hugged him again, but he was much more honest, and said: "It is not a simple person to be able to sit in the seat of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu for so many years. He looks loyal, but it is not clear behind his back. The two sons are different from Wang Jin, they look like they came out of the barracks, and the father and son stand together, making Wang Jin look like a cheesy boy."

Xu Miaoyun then said what Mrs. Wang said today: "Mrs. Wang is not a simple person. Look at that. She wants to take this opportunity to bestow a title on the Wang family."

Bo Rang sneered: "Wang Jin is not the eldest son, and the title cannot be passed on to him. What's the use of that? Mrs. Wang is taking this opportunity to find a way out for the eldest son and the second son. She is shrewd, but we are not fools. If you give it a title, then give it to Wang Jin, nothing else is discussed."

Xu Miaoyun frowned and said: "Wang Jin looks so noble, he really doesn't look like the same family as the Wang family."

Bo Rang said: "This matter has to be discussed with the people in the Ministry of Rites. Before the death of the emperor's grandfather, there was a will for Taining to marry. She is the eldest princess with a noble status. She should have a lot of dignity. The Wang family has to look forward to Sichuan, I'm afraid it will fail."

The Wang family is also discussing this matter at the moment. Mrs. Wang's plan is very good. The youngest son Wang Jin has Princess Taining, and the future is bright. As long as the palace rewards the eldest son with a title of succession, she will call the second son Enyin in the future. There is nothing to worry about. As for the two daughters, there is a princess sister-in-law, so I am afraid that they will not find a good marriage.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "This match should be Jin'er's blessing. There are so many people, and the princess picked Jin'er at a glance. This is also fate."

Wang Chi also stroked his beard and laughed, and kept nodding, while Wang Jin sat aside sullenly, obviously not very happy.

Wang Jin's eldest brother, Wang An, said, "Did mother tell me about the conferment? Didn't you say that father is not easy to come forward, so let you talk about it."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "My son, you are indispensable. I saw that the empress was young and soft-spoken. Although she was a bit airy, she couldn't bear it when I complained. She said she was pitiful. See what she meant. Go back and talk to the emperor." Discuss, and most of them agree."

Wang Jin suddenly raised his head and said, "Nobility? What kind of title? How come I don't know about this?"

Mrs. Wang smiled brightly: "You are the son-in-law, so it is better for our family to have a title. If you say it like this, the princess is decent."

Wang Jin said angrily: "Father, mother, I was reluctant to let me marry the princess. If my father hadn't spoken, I would have asked someone to push this marriage. Now the princess eats, drinks and lives. Yes, this has made me lose face, and now you are going to ask for a title, just let me marry you. Wouldn't it be easier?"

Wang Chi's face darkened, and he shouted: "You bastard, what did you say? I asked you to marry the princess, so did I harm you?"

Mrs. Wang also said: "You, even if you are stupid in reading, and others gossip, you can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour. In fact, it's too late to envy you. You don't have to listen to the words of the villain, and you can marry him with peace of mind. Now that you are a princess, you have no worries about food and clothing, so you can still study and learn, isn’t it great?”

Wang Jin thought to himself.There used to be only those who sell their daughters for glory, but now they sell their sons for glory, but he dared not say this, but his face turned pale with anger, and he walked away.

Wang An looked at his younger brother's back, and said with a smile: "I don't have such good luck. If I can marry the princess, I am willing to divorce my wife immediately."

To the eldest son.Mrs. Wang didn't have such a good temper, she cursed and said: "You bastard, let me hear another word? If you don't expose your skin, how can your wife feel sorry for you?"

Wang An ran away with his head in his hands, grinning: "I'm not joking."

Wang Jin ran out to drink in a fit of anger, and he knew only a few people in the capital, Xie Yushu was the only one he thought about.Xie Yushu was originally the eldest son of the Xie family, with a distinguished status.He didn't need to take the imperial examination, so he relied on the identity of Mrs. Xie to get a casual job in the Ministry of Industry. Usually, he had more contacts with people from the Imperial Academy, talking about articles and learning, and his life was not so leisurely.

Now seeing Wang Jin coming to him for a drink, he smiled and said, "Don't you deserve to be proud of your horseshoe disease, why are you so sad?"

Wang Jin said: "Don't mention it, you will get angry when you talk about it."

Xie Yushu said: "Tell me, what happened? Taining is also related to me. If you have anything difficult to say, I can help you convey it. It's better than being bored alone. .”

Wang Jin sighed and said, "My mother wants to take this opportunity to bring back a title for the family."

Xie Yushu smiled and said: "As the tide rises, the boat rises, this is human nature." He added: "Wei Ya set up a chess game in the Chunfeng Tower, and I am going to watch the game. You may as well go with me, if you don't, you will meet Xu Jinghuan .”

Hearing this, Wang Jin's expression softened a little, and he said, "I'm afraid he's a busy person now, where would he go?"

Xie Yushu smiled and said, "You'll know if you see it. Last time you won his third son, he has been thinking about getting it back. If he didn't go, I'll tell someone to go."

When the two of them arrived at the Chunfeng Building, they saw that there were already a dozen young scholars there. When they saw Xie Yushu coming, they all stepped forward to say hello. Third son, seeing that Wang Jin was there, Xu Jinghuan smiled and said, "Isn't this the son-in-law? Wei Ya, you give up your seat to the son-in-law. I will have a good discussion with him."

Xie Yushu blinked at Wang Jin, and Wang Jin held his breath in his heart, so he sat down unceremoniously, and played chess with Xu Jinghuan, and everyone watched the battle.

Xu Jinghuan looked very leisurely, but Wang Jin's style of chess became more aggressive than before, and he was killed by Xu Jinghuan in just a cup of tea. Wang Jin's face turned pale, and Xie Yushu was about to smooth things over, so Xu Jinghuan said with a smile : "He's about to marry a wife after all. He's in a hurry, and he's scrambling to play chess. Are you looking forward to seeing the bride sooner?"

Xu Jinghuan was the only one who dared to tease Princess Taining. Everyone laughed. Xie Yushu looked at Wang Jin with a worried look in his eyes. Gossip about marriage, if others don't talk about it, the emperor will be the first to spare him.

Xie Yushu thought about it, so he made a face at Xu Jinghuan, Xu Jinghuan paused, and noticed Wang Jin's absent-mindedness, but he and Wang Jin were not familiar, and some things were inconvenient to say, so he let Xie Yushu pull Wang Jin away Wei Ya leaned over and whispered, "Brother, why am I not happy looking at Wang Jin?"

Xu Jinghuan said: "You can see it too."

Wei Ya said: "That's right, I've heard a lot of gossip recently, our Lord Xiong said that another one will reach the sky in one step."

Xu Jinghuan signaled Wei Ya to keep silent, since the incident of He Lansheng came out, relying on his wife to make a fortune is the most despicable thing, now that Wang Jin is married to a princess, gossip is indispensable, Wang Jin is a self-proclaimed scholar, no wonder he is unhappy.

Xu Jinghuan returned home after staying in the Chunfeng Tower for a while, met Xue Yunxin at the gate, and raised his eyebrows: "Why are you here?" Xue Yunxin smiled and said: "Prepare some leather, and make a cloak for the old lady."

Xu Jinghuan thought for a while, and said: "It happens that I need your help, so you can send the things to my study." Xue Yunxin was very excited, this was the first time Xu Jinghuan invited him into his study.

Coming out of the old lady's yard, Xue Yunxin trotted all the way to Xu Jinghuan's study room. It was like visiting a palace, and looked around. Except that there were more books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, there was nothing unusual about it!

Seeing him looking around, Xu Jinghuan was speechless, and said, "Which one do you like? I'll give it to you."

Xue Yunxin shook his head again and again: "It's useless to give it to me, I'm not interested in learning." Seeing Xu Jinghuan's face is not good-looking, he immediately smiled and said: "Second brother, if you have something to say, just tell me."

Xu Jinghuan said: "Qin Xuan has been locked up in Xu's house for a while, and I can't keep supporting her forever. I still think it's a waste of food. You go out to find the He family and the Qin family, whether it's coercion or temptation, let me He Lansheng went to Feng’s family, and Qin’s family went to Prince Rui’s Mansion. He beat drums and gongs to make He Lansheng admit that he deliberately seduced Feng Zhenzhen, and made the Qin family admit that Qin Xuan was sent to Beijing for the sake of climbing high.” (To be continued.
