Grandma He's expression darkened: "When I saw Jing Huan and Miaoyun today, I thought of my second elder brother and second sister-in-law. Mom, although I am the He family's wife, I have not forgotten the enmity between my father and my second elder brother and second sister-in-law. As a daughter-in-law, Pei Ning also wants to use this to help the Xu family, with Pei Ning and I dealing with the He family, it is much easier for the eldest brother and Jing Huan to find an official."

The old lady said: "It's good for you to think so, but let me ask you, your father-in-law's instinct is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, why did he suddenly want to bring up the matter of marriage? After thinking about it, it is only good for the Xu family But it is not good for the He family. How can your father-in-law be so kind? Deliberately selling favors to the Xu family? There must be something strange about it. Our family has been out of court for a long time, and many things are not well-informed. What did you hear in the capital? wind?"

When the old lady said this, Grandma He also felt strange, thought about it carefully, and said: "At first, I only thought it was a good thing to get closer, and I didn't go into it. Now that I think about it, I want to say something unusual. There is also one thing, when the emperor was ill at the beginning of spring, Kang Wangye and Duan Wangye entered the palace to serve, the emperor only left Kang Wangye to serve the sick, but asked Duan Wangye to act as an agent of state affairs, until the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor was fine. Eighth, he also praised Prince Duan for his proper handling of affairs and rewarded him with a lot of things, but Prince Kang didn't say anything, we all said that since the emperor dared to ask Prince Duan to act as an agent in government affairs, it shows that the emperor trusts Prince Duan."

The old lady immediately retorted: "This is wrong. When people are old and sick, the children who stay with them are often the most loved and trusted children. The emperor only left Lord Kang, so we know that the emperor relies heavily on Lord Kang. The prince acts as an agent of state affairs, so he should be happy if he takes advantage of it, you can see that he was happy?"

Grandma He's expression suddenly became worried: "It's because we thought it was wrong? The emperor has loved Prince Duan for so many years, did he change his mind at the end of the day?"

Although the old lady is a family member of the inner house, she has been with Xu Ge for so many years, and the couple often talked about political affairs in the court. The old lady's knowledge is also a bit unusual, and said: "If the emperor is now biased towards Prince Kang, how will Prince Kang respond? ?”

Grandma He immediately said: "Naturally, we should seize this opportunity to win people's hearts and gain a firm foothold."

Grandma He suddenly realized: "Mother means that Lord Kang thought of our Xu family. Father was Lord Kang's teacher. If he can be rehabilitated for father, on the one hand, he will win over the Xu family and stand on his side. The old friend was also pulled over, and he could use this to suppress Prince Duan, after all, it was Prince Duan who impeached father back then."

The old lady nodded approvingly, and said: "It seems that your father-in-law has not changed his nature, and is as shrewd as ever. Lord Kang wanted to rehabilitate the Xu family, but the matter failed. Naturally, there was no news. We are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and naturally we will not I know, but your father-in-law is clear, knowing that this matter is over, the Xu family is about to rise again, so he proposed marriage as soon as possible. Now that the Xu family is white, he is a court elder who takes the initiative to propose marriage for the eldest grandson. Others will only say that he cares The in-laws of the He family and the Xu family are kind people, and our Xu family can only be grateful. When the Xu family recovered, their He family, as charcoal senders in the snow, took advantage of it without making a sound. Your father-in-law is really clever. .”

Grandma He was a little worried: "This is just a guess, whether or not Prince Kang's redress can be settled or not."

The old lady said: "How did your mother-in-law treat you before you came? Did you ever speak harshly?"

Grandma He smiled and said, "That's not true, it's more polite than usual."

The old lady smiled and said: "Snobbish people like your mother-in-law have changed their attitude and become more polite to you, which shows that this is true."

Grandma He said pleasantly: "Then father will be rehabilitated, and brother can continue to be an official."

The old lady nodded without saying a word, but there was a smile in her eyes.

After analyzing the whole matter thoroughly, not to mention the old lady, even Grandma He has no intention of promoting this marriage. She just said: "When my father-in-law asked me, I said that the characters are not compatible." Then I would accompany the old lady every day, Or joking with nephews and nieces, it is really as comfortable as returning home.

The old lady knew that her grandson He Bingshu had come to Hangzhou secretly, so she asked the old man to look for him, and he brought him back within half a day. The word Ke, isn’t it just a word?

This He Bingshu is also interesting.

Xu Miaoyun was also taken aback naturally, and ran to Zhang's house to tell Zhang Baoer, Zhang Baoer was envious and jealous: "It turned out to be your cousin, why did he change his name and surname, and come here to recognize relatives in an unscrupulous manner?"

Xu Miaoyun said: "My aunt said that he was studying abroad, so he didn't make any noise."

Zhang Baoer relied on going to Xu's house as a guest. The Xu family now has Grandma He and He Bingshu, which is much more lively than usual. Xu Miaoyun took Zhang Baoer to greet Grandma He: "Auntie, this is from the Zhang family next door Boa."

Zhang Baoer saluted shyly. Grandma He liked it very much and gave her a meeting gift. Just when He Bingshu came over, Zhang Baoer's face was as if on fire. Seeing that Zhang Baoer's meaning was too obvious, Xu Miaoyun joked: " Cousin, Bao'er stumped Wei Ya when she saw you outside the building that day, and admired you very much."

He Bingshu was a little surprised, and smiled slightly, but Zhang Baoer was afraid and looking forward to it. Seeing He Bingshu's smile, his eyes became brighter and brighter. Grandma He is a fine person. Naturally, Zhang Baoer's admiration for her son can be seen, and she is also very proud of herself. Smile He asked, "When did Bingshu go to the building outside the building?"

Xu Miaoyun then told the story of that day, and Grandma He showed a look of nostalgia: "When I was young, I went to see it with my eldest brother and second brother. At that time, they could argue for a long time over a poem."

Seeing that Grandma He was sad, Xu Miaoyun found an excuse to leave, and then asked Zhang Baoer: "You don't mean to marry cousin Bingshu, I'm afraid it won't work."

Zhang Baoer said: "I just admire him, but I didn't say marry him. Don't worry, although your cousin is good, he is not as good as your brother. I might as well marry your brother."

Xu Miaoyun became anxious immediately: "You are not allowed to think of my brother."

But Zhang Baoer persisted: "So what? I will be your sister-in-law, and I will treat you better."

Xu Miaoyun was angry: "If you marry my brother, I will ignore you."

What Zhang Baoer admires most about Xu Miaoyun is that she has two good brothers and sisters. The elder brother is elegant and kind, and the older sister is also very funny. Xu Miaoyun's anxious look relieved her anger.

But Xu Miaoyun took it seriously, and didn't send Zhang Baoer off, turned around and ran away, ignoring Zhang Baoer for several days, until Zhang Baoer wrote a letter to promise not to marry Xu Jinghuan, Xu Miaoyun invited her to come to play again.

Ever since Grandma He came, Mama Wan breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Mrs. He sent her to visit her granddaughter-in-law. Now that Grandma He is here, she is the master after all, and Mama Wan doesn't ask about it any more, she just hangs out with a few familiar mothers.

The Xu family's aunt returned to the province, so the old lady naturally wanted to have a banquet. They invited the old lady Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, and Grandma Zhang next door, as well as Mrs. Dong from the Dong family, and two Miss Dong.

The adults talked with the old lady, and the young girls gathered in the garden to play. The Shenxiang Pavilion in the garden was spacious. The partitions on all sides were removed, curtains were hung, and two tables were placed in the middle. The left and right sides were ventilated and cool. Garden view.

Needless to say, Zhang Baoer and Grandma Zhang are both acquaintances. The two girls of the Dong family are Dong Zicheng's younger sisters, Dong Qiuyan and Dong Qiulian. Because they are from concubines, they don't go out to socialize very much. They just nod their friendship with the girl from the Xu family, so I invited you here today. , is nothing more than looking at Mrs. Dong's face.

Zhang Baoer managed to stop Xu Miaoyun from being angry, and chirping about the Ghost Festival, Xu Miaoyun said that he would put a river lantern in the garden at home: "Brother doesn't allow me to go to the water, so it's fine to put a river lantern at home."

Zhang Baoer said: "The small puddle at home is not as fun outside. My mother told my brother to take me to Yuquan River. There were many people setting off river lanterns there that day. It was very lively. There were also river lantern sellers on the street. I It doesn’t look good, so I’ll ask my brother to give me a new one.”

Xu Miaoyun also enviously said: "That's great, but unfortunately I can't go."

Zhang Baoer said: "Then I'll bring it back for you. My mother said that I was not allowed to eat food from outside, but my sister-in-law said that there is a wonton stall next to the Yuquan River. It has thin skin and big stuffing. It is delicious. I am going to try it. This time, I will definitely not have a stomachache."

Xu Miaoyun said: "Don't talk about your mouth, if it really hurts, be careful and your mother won't let you go out."

The two were sitting on the porch talking, while Xu Peining and Xu Jinghan were greeting the Dong sisters and Grandma Zhang.

Grandma Zhang was making sidelines about the He family's affairs. Master He is a cabinet scholar. If he can gain this relationship, it would be much easier for the Zhang family to do business. Xu Peining smiled and practiced Tai Chi, but she really didn't know about the He family's affairs.

After the banquet in the afternoon, Grandma He also told the old lady that Mrs. Zhang's words were too explicit. The old lady said: "I have been neighbors for so many years, and I know the behavior of the Zhang family. It is inevitable for them to be like this. That's right, the kid from the Zhang family gets along well with Run'an, and the young lady from the Zhang family is just like Miaoyun's sister."

Grandma He said: "Speaking of Miaoyun, I would rather call Miaoyun my daughter-in-law, who is well-behaved and quiet. Both Pei Ning and Jinghan are too dazzling, and Miaoyun is just right."

The old lady smiled and said: "She is still quiet? She got naughty and was caught and beaten by Jing Huan. It is better now that she is older. I have no control over Miaoyun's marriage. Jing Huan said earlier that he will personally take care of her when he has a future." Miao Yun looked at each other, I have watched with cold eyes all these years, Jing Huan is a young and mature child, has ideas, and is self-motivated, I am afraid that the future will not be shallow, so it is good for him to worry about Miao Yun's affairs, after all, he is the younger sister of the same mother , Miaoyun is also young."
