The five stone green steps in front of the door are chiseled into a five-blessed birthday. Two little maidservants without their heads were playing on the steps, and saw the carriage stopped, one ran in, and one greeted him with salute.

Brother 　　谆 called "Xiao Shao" to the little maid.

　　 It can be seen that he and the people in the wife's courtyard are very familiar.

　　 Xiao Shao responded with a smile, and Xu's mother touched a few pennies from her sleeve to reward the little maid. The little maid thanked her for the reward, and several maids in official green suits walked out surrounded by maids in tooth yellow suits.

　　 "Mrs-in-law, the servant girl is Wei Zi in front of Mrs. Tai." The maid, who is wearing a toothy yellow and more than Jiao, respectfully salutes the eldest wife and the others, and smiles and salutes the elder brother: "Father, you are accompanied by your grandmother Mrs. Wife?"

　　 Brother smiled shyly.

　　 Mother Xu took out her purse and gave them a reward. Wei Zi and others generously thanked them, and the group entered the door.

　　 is facing a rockery with erratic rocks, on both sides are hand-made verandas.

　　 The rockery is clinging or swaying like a green belt, or vines like a green line. The foot of the mountain is lush with vegetation, dotted with a few yellow, red or blue flowers. Although it is wild and interesting, it is a spring flower. Open scene.

　　 Eleven Niang was taken aback, and when she took a closer look, she discovered that the dark red and big square Taoge criss-crossed like a chessboard were faintly exposed among the grass and trees. It turned out that these grass and trees did not grow in the underground soil, but were planted. In the square pots.

　　 should have been cultivated in the greenhouse, and then moved over.

　　 While thinking secretly, she followed the old lady from the right hand veranda to the hall with a smile.

　　 across three halls, there are four red sandalwood-fired glass screens with pine and cranes welcoming guests in the center. Around the screens, there are hand-made verandas on the left and right, and in the center is a small three halls.

　　 Then Yao Huang smiled and said: "A few mothers have worked hard, let me have a cup of tea!"

　　 turned out to be, don’t follow those who don’t care.

　　 Xu's mother winked at the crape myrtle, Amber and others, and smiled: "Lao Yaohuang girl." Then she took them to follow Yao Huang from the corner door next to the small hall to the back cover room, brother Held by the nurse, the eldest wife, Wu Niang, Eleven Niang, Aunt Wen and the two maids followed by Brother Qian, followed Wei Zi through the small hall to the main courtyard behind.

　　 The five-room upper room, black lacquered floor pillars, large glass windows, snow-white brocade curtains, stone green granite flower splint curtains, parrots and thrushes and other birds of various colors on both sides, the middle of the yard is paved with a cross bluestone corridor, two plants in the northwest corner It is surrounded by thick, towering trees, with branches and leaves covering the roof like umbrellas. A tall tree in the northeast corner, without leaves and flowers, with brown branches and knots. There is a flower stand in the southeast corner, covered with green vines, and underneath are stone tables and stone piers, and there is an air of elegance and simplicity.

　　 Some trusted maids stood in front of the steps and saw them coming. Some helped to draw the curtains, and some told them inwardly: "Master Chen came with his wife."

　　 They entered the room, and a large group of women dressed in red and green came in, surrounded by a tall woman.

Brother 　　谆 has yelled: "Grandma!"

　　Eleven Niang knew that this was Yuan Niang's mother-in-law and the wife of Yongping Houfu, so she couldn't help but look carefully.

　　 Mrs. 　　 looks like two or three years younger than the older lady, wearing a stone cyan silk gold gourd butterfly pattern jacket, **** yellow full skirt. Her jet-black hair was combed into a bun, and she only wore two coral turquoise beeswax beads on her sideburns. She has fair skin, slightly plump body, and a round and fair face with very gentle eyes.

　　 She smiled at Brother Jian, and then took a few steps forward to give Mrs. Zaida a blessing: "Sister, I am really ashamed to let you move."

　　 Mrs. Tai also squatted down to pay back the wife when Mrs. Tai squatted down: "Isn’t my sister ashamed of me when she said that." He introduced Wu Niang and Eleven Niang to Mrs. Tai: “These are my two A daughter who is not a good girl. The big one is Wu Niang, and the small one is Eleven Niang."

　　Wuniang and Elevenniang rushed forward to salute Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. 　　 smiled and looked at the two carefully: "They are really two beautiful girls like a bright pearl."

　　 "Mrs. Too praised." The old lady was humble.

Mrs. 　　 introduced to Mrs. a Lent woman who was wearing a deep lotus purse satin embroidered cloud and crane pattern next to her: "This is Mrs. Qiao from Chengguo Gongfu."

　　 The two met each other.

Mrs. 　　 pointed to a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth next to Mrs. Qiao: "This is the sixth lady from Cheng Guo Gong's Mansion."

　　The big lady smiled and nodded to the little girl, and said "Miss Joe" politely.

　　Miss Qiao bowed to the eldest wife, and met with Wu Niang and Eleven Niang again,

　　 Mrs. Qiao pointed to Aunt Wen and said: "This is..."

Mrs. 　　 smiled and said, "It's the little star of Sier."

　　 Auntie Wen hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mrs. Joe, Mrs. Joe smiled and nodded, rewarded her with a purse, and said: "Master Hou is really blessed. Look at Auntie's appearance, small and exquisite, really pitiful!"

　　 Mrs. Mrs. smiled, and asked Mrs. and Mrs. Joe to go to the west side of the daily banquet. Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tai shared the guest and host and sat on the kang near the window, and the little maid took the chair of the teacher and placed it under the head of Mrs. Qiao for Mrs. Qiao, and gave the brocade to Ms. Qiao, Wu Niang, Eleven Niang, Aunt Wen sits.

　　 Brother Qi greeted Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Joe. Mrs. Qiao hugged Brother Chen, looked at it left and right, praised him a lot, and did not say anything about her purse. She also gave Brother Qiao to Miss Qiao so that Ms. Qiao could hold the child to Mrs. Tai.

　　 I don’t know if it was the funny purse that Mrs. Joe gave that Brother Chen was attracted to his attention, or because he was able to return to his grandmother’s arms immediately. Brother Chen struggled in Mrs. Joe’s arms and waited for Miss Joe to hold him. When she was in her arms, she didn't even move.

　　Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "Brother Chen has a relationship with our sixth sister."

Madam 　　 didn’t say anything, she just smiled and touched Brother Chen’s head, and told Wei Zi: "Brother Chen, let’s play in the warm house!"

　　 Wei Zi hugged brother, Auntie Wen smiled and stood up: "Madam, let me accompany Brother Chen!"

Mrs. 　　 smiled and glanced at her, and said: "Then be careful, don't knock the child!"

　　, Mrs. Qiao suddenly interrupted and said, "Or, Sixth Sister, you also go to accompany your brother." Then he said to the wife, "Our Sixth Sister likes children. The nephews and nieces in the family see her. Clamoring for her."

　　Miss Qiao's face is reddish, and she whispers softly: "Auntie...You are really..."

Mrs. 　　 smiled and said: "Miss Six is ​​a guest! How can I work her?"

　　 "You are an elder, she is a junior, just tell me how to say "labor"!" She insisted on asking Ms. Qiao to accompany her brother to the Nuan Pavilion.

Mrs. 　　 smiled: "Or, Ms. Joe will help me accompany the two in-laws! We talk together when we are older, so that they will not be young and bored!"

　　 Ms. Qiao immediately stood up obediently and responded with a "Yes", and moved Jin Zhao to sit with Wu Niang and Eleven Niang, and Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tai recounted the story along the way. When did you depart from Yuhang, when did you arrive where, and when did you arrive at Tongzhou...

　　 was talking about staying with Wu Niang and Eleven Niang, but the adults were talking, and no one dared to interject, let alone whisper to the side. Miss Qiao was just sitting next to Wu Niang and Eleven Niang.

　　 A maid came in and said: "Madam, Lin Bo, who is next to Master Hou, said that the emperor has left Master Hou to speak. I am afraid that it will be late to come back today. Let me talk to my wife, Ming Xian, and go to the house. Come visit."

　　 "This kid, I don't know what I'm doing!" The lady sighed after hearing it, and turned to the eldest wife, "Please don't blame the wife."

　　Mrs. Qiao was about to say something, then Mrs. Joe smiled and said: "Hoye is the pillar of the country, and he regards national affairs as his top priority. How could the wife of in-laws blame it."

When Mrs. 　　 heard this, she smiled apologetically at Mrs. Cheng: "The Government of Chengguo and our family are family friends." It seems to be explaining Mrs. Joe's enthusiasm to Mrs. Qiao.

　　 "Exactly." Mrs. Qiao laughed when she heard it, "When our grandpa entered the Imperial Forest Army Huwei Camp, Lord Hou was the leader, and our grandfather was a battalion guard. He followed Lao Hou every day. At that time, we weren’t married yet, and his home didn’t go back. Every day, I followed the old man to my sister to have a meal..." He said, he laughed, "Later we became relatives, and he always said that the smoked deer of my sister’s house The meat is delicious, and I once sent someone to ask for a piece from my sister. Does my sister remember?"

　　 "Remember." Madam Tai smiled faintly, not as enthusiastic as Madam Joe showed.

　　 Mrs. Qiao sighed slightly: "Lao Hou Ye passed away, and our father-in-law was sent to the northwest. My sister thanked the guests behind closed doors, and we came less..."

　　 Mrs. Big heard some clues.

　　Since you are a family friend, how can you get less contact because your husband is sent to the northwest? Moreover, before the death of the old man, Xu Ling'an, the elder son of the Xu family who had always placed high hopes in the family, died of illness. Xu Lingan’s widow, Xiang He’s wife, couldn’t stand this blow, and fell ill, and her daughter suddenly took over ~IndoMTL.com~ Xu’s third grandmother, Gan, was pregnant, let alone help, just In front of the mother-in-law’s bed, she couldn’t count on being sick, so she deliberately took the wife’s cousin to the house and stayed with her for half a year.

　　 Thinking of this, she glanced at the wife.

　　 Madam 　　 sensed the eldest wife's gaze, and turned her face to the elder wife and smiled helplessly.

　　Mrs. suddenly understood.

　　 Something happened that year.

　　 The "Wuzhu Case" in the forty-sixth year of Jianwu involved several adult princes. After the queen and the prince drank a pigeon and died, the emperor never established a post or a reserve. That year someone wrote a letter suggesting that the ten princes born to the imperial concubine Ye clan should be the prince. The emperor was furious, and made cabinet scholar Li Qing thoroughly investigate the matter-everyone knew afterwards that Li Qing and the nine princes had a good relationship and took the opportunity to attack the other princes. But at that time, the "Wuzhu case" had been investigated for five years, and the number of courtiers involved was unknown. The Yue family of the Xu family as the seventh prince was also involved. Had it not been for his father-in-law's protection, the old man had died of illness, and I was afraid that things would not be so simple and calm down.

　　 At that time, she was serving her sick mother-in-law in Yuhang, and couldn't come to Yanjing. The news was blocked and her heart was anxious. She also complained that her father-in-law should not betroth her daughter to the Xu family...

　　 If the Qiao family and the Xu family did not communicate at that time, that is to say, the Qiao family supported the other princes at that time!

　　 Madam could not help but smile coldly in her heart.

　　 now knowing that the wrong voter had rushed to fawn. Haven't you heard of "the icing on the cake is easy, but the charcoal in the snow is difficult"?

　　Eleven Niang also sees something wrong.

　　 This Mrs. Joe, although she seems to be generous, but she is very fond of Mrs. Tai when she speaks, is she asking for something?

　　 Her heart moved, her eyes couldn't help but fell on Miss Qiao.
