Your daughter's strategy

Although King Kang and King Duan fought for the throne, the two families were amicable on the surface. Although Princess Kang and Princess Duan did not speak to each other, neither of them showed disdain. Princess Rui is extremely respectful and polite.

Tang Nannan whispered in Xu Miaoyun's ear: "Did you see the person standing behind Princess Kang? It's Princess Lian."

Xu Miaoyun looked over and saw that although Princess Lian was dressed in the same rich and noble manner, she looked a little depressed, a little less calm, and a little at a loss, which made people feel a little petty.

After Princess Rui sat down, everyone went back to the table and continued to listen to the play, but Tang Nannan wentssip with Xu Miaoyun about Princess Lian: "Concubine Zheng Xiang is bitter, and the emperor doesn't like it very much. I didn't pay much attention to it, and the people in the Ministry of Rites said that Princess Lian was good, so they directly issued an order, but although Princess Lian was born well, she was a concubine, and she was recorded under the name of her aunt. I don't like her very much either, she seldom goes out."

Xu Miaoyun was a little surprised. Although it is said that women are virtuous if they are ignorant, as long as they have the ability, ordinary people will still teach their girls to read. Recognized, it can be seen how neglected at home.

And she heard that Princess Lian, like Princess Duan, has only given birth to Princess Furong so far, so she is afraid that her life will be very difficult.

After listening to two plays, everyone went to the main hall to pay homage to Princess Rui's birthday together, and then went to the flower hall to sit. On a hot day, they walked back and forth twice, and they were already sweating. Xu Miaoyun felt that her underwear was sticking to her body. I feel very uncomfortable, but there is nothing I can do, I can only endure it.

But when pouring the wine, Cheng Ailian touched the girl who was pouring the wine, and the girl fell forward, and the wine pot was completely turned over on Xu Miaoyun's body. The cold wine quickly soaked through the clothes, and even the color of the underwear could be clearly seen , Xu Miaoyun looked at Cheng Ailian angrily, but Cheng Ailian looked away triumphantly.

Xu Peining hurriedly wiped it for Xu Miaoyun with a handkerchief, while Xu Jinghan handed the handkerchief to Xu Miaoyun to keep her in the way. The girl pouring the wine was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kept apologizing. Xu Peining said softly, "You didn't do it on purpose either. , That's all, please find a place for my sister to tidy up, so as not to be rude."

The girl nodded hurriedly and led Xu Miaoyun to the courtyard where the guests rested. Xu Peining was going to accompany her, but Tang Nannan volunteered: "I'll go with her, and I'm familiar with this mansion."

Xu Peining thought about it, and thanked her. When Xu Miaoyun walked away, she looked at Cheng Ailian coldly. Cheng Ailian was stunned, she bit her lip and remained silent.

Xu Miaoyun's clothes were all soaked, so where could she wear them, Tang Nannan came up with an idea: "Borrow your clothes from Mrs. Shizi, otherwise you will definitely not be able to see people."

The girl was trembling with fright, and she didn't dare to go when she heard the words. Tang Nannan said, "What are you afraid of? I didn't say to punish you. You go to your Shizi's wife and ask her to come. Let me tell you, I will keep you safe." Get scolded."

The girl looked fearful, seeing Tang Nannan raising her eyebrows, she hurried out to spread the word.

Xu Miaoyun was very upset, very upset, and seeing no one was in the room, she took off her outer shirt, leaving only an inner shirt as thin as a cicada's wings, feeling much cooler, Tang Nanxi said: "Every time I go to a banquet, I will meet you. When I saw such a thing, once I went to Xie’s house to enjoy the flowers, a group of people were writing poems there, I felt boring, sat on the far side, and the little girl who came over with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone accidentally turned the inkstone over to me. On my head, it made my face covered with ink, and everyone laughed when they saw it, and almost rolled to the ground."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "You are really unlucky, what happened then?"

Tang Nannan said: "I have no choice but to take a bath at Xie's house and change the water three or four times, but my body still smells like ink, which made me so angry that I didn't smell it after applying two or three layers of toilet water."

Xu Miaoyun knew that Tang Nannan was deliberately telling her about her embarrassment to comfort her, and she felt a lot more relaxed.

Soon after Mrs. Zuo came over, she was very surprised when she saw this, and hurriedly asked someone to go to the room to get the clothes: "I haven't worn the new ones yet, and my sister will just wear them. I'm really sorry that this happened."

Seeing that the girl was terrified, Xu Miaoyun said, "It's also my carelessness that caused trouble to Madam."

The girl helped Xu Miaoyun change her clothes, because they belonged to the Zuo family, the clothes were a bit luxurious, a yellow shirt with silver borders, and a water-red satin skirt underneath, embroidered with small hibiscus flowers.

When Xu Miaoyun returned to the banquet, it was already three rounds of drinking, everyone was chattering, Xu Peining and Xu Jinghan whispered something, they were relieved to see Xu Miaoyun came, and thanked Tang Nannan, Tang Nannan didn't take it seriously: "It's not a big deal."

When the banquet was over, there were some young ladies coming to read books and jugglers. Although it was not as lively as singing in the morning, everyone thought it was more interesting.

In the evening, there was the formal banquet, the gongs and drums of opera singing outside were loud, and fireworks were set off. It was not until the second watch that the banquet was over, and the Ruiwang Mansion, which had been bustling all day long, gradually quieted down.

Xu Miaoyun changed Zuo's clothes the first thing she did when she got home, took them to the sewing room and sent them back with exactly the same clothes, and told Xu Peining about Cheng Ailian: "I knew she must like the eldest brother-in-law, one bite at a time Brother You Ting, you don't think it's nasty either."

Xu Peining said with a smile: "You don't need to pay attention to such a person in the future. You offended her, and she caused you to drink all over. The loss outweighs the gain."

Xu Miaoyun was not angry, she always felt that Cheng Ailian was not as weak and weak as she looked, she must have a lot of scheming in her bones.

After the dog days, the weather is not so hot, but Li Maowen still hasn’t come back from Sichuan, Xu Miaoyun is happy and at home all day, or spends time with Xu Peining and Xu Jinghan, or goes out with Tang’s daughter Feng Zhenzhen .

It soon entered August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-] was just around the corner. The old lady was very happy to see the family reunion, and the Xu family had gained a firm foothold in the capital again. The letter said that Master Dong and Mrs. Dong would arrive in the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Dong Zicheng has always lived in Xu's house. Although he has been taken care of in every possible way, he is still very happy to know that his parents are coming. Mrs. Xu asked Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong to live in Xu's house: "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be polite."

Dong Zicheng thought about it and agreed.

In fact, the reason for Master Dong’s visit, too many Mrs. Xu, can probably guess. Dong Zicheng is his only son. He wanted to be a good scholar or become an official, but he and Xu Jinghuan became the companions of Ancheng County King. Master Dong didn't object and thought about it.

If the Xu family recovers, it is not comparable to the Dong family as a merchant. The Dong family has no one in the court. Even if Dong Zicheng is an official, he has to rely on the Xu family. He also intended to marry the Xu family, but he was not sure what the Xu family meant, so he hurried to Beijing, first to reunite with his son, and second, to settle his son's lifelong affairs.

Although Mr. Dong is a businessman, he is very elegant. The Dong family lives in Hangzhou and has some family background. For his son's life-long affairs, he does not want to hastily choose the daughter of a merchant.

When the day came, Xu Jinghuan accompanied Dong Zicheng to Tongzhou to pick up Master Dong.

I haven't seen my son for a long time. Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong miss him very much. Mrs. Dong's eyes were red on the spot, and she held Dong Zicheng in her arms and cried non-stop. Dong Zicheng was a little embarrassed, and finally arrived at Xu's house before dark .

Mrs. Xu entertained Mr. Dong in the outer courtyard, and Mrs. Xu brought a group of women to receive Mrs. Dong in the inner courtyard. Mrs. Dong was a very shrewd person, knowing that Dong Zicheng was under the care of Xu's family in the capital, so she gave generous gifts, jewelry, and fabrics. Clothes, two full carts.

After the welcome banquet, Mrs. Dong had a private conversation with Mrs. Xu: "... I am just such a son, and now he has won a Jinshi. I can't control it. Only his lifelong affairs, I I have always been very worried, and I want to find a daughter-in-law with a good family background, and I am afraid that people will see that our Dong family is a merchant, and I don’t want to marry. If I marry a poor family, I am afraid that my son will be wronged. I really don’t know what to do That's good."

The old lady Xu comforted: "Heroes don't care about their backgrounds. This child Zicheng is bold, handsome, and has a bright future. I'm afraid many people want to marry, but he is young, and he is alone in the capital. Others see that he has no elders. Don’t dare to say it rashly.”

Mrs. Dong's tone was pleading: "I also ask the old lady to help me. If you can tell us Zicheng a good marriage, the master and I will be very grateful."

The old lady Xu said with a smile: "We have been friends for more than ten years. If you say this, you will be heretics. Zicheng is just like my grandson. Don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders."

Mrs. Dong actually wanted to marry Xu Miaoyun, but she remembered that when she was in Hangzhou, the old lady appointed Xu Peining as the eldest grandson of Mr. Su Ge. She was afraid of being rejected for a while, so it was hard to mention it, and Mrs. Xu also wanted to mention it, but Xu Jinghuan didn't like it. It's not good to speak rashly, but froze for a moment.

Mr. Dong and Mr. Xu didn't have so many scruples. Mr. Dong directly mentioned Xu Miaoyun: "...the age is about the same, and we grew up together. I think it's a good match. I won't say anything about our Zicheng, brother Xu. It is also seen in the eyes, if Miaoyun marries into our family, she will be treated as her own daughter."
