Hui Niang was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her sister, she couldn't help but reached out and touched her cheek, and said, "Why is eldest sister looking at me like this all of a sudden?"

Fu Niang suddenly smiled, and instead of answering Hui Niang's question, she asked her, "Is what you just said true?"

"What did you say?" Hui Niang didn't understand what Fu Niang was asking for a moment, and after she answered the question, she realized something was wrong, and hurriedly added: "Of course what my younger sister said just now is true, I don't know what Eldest Sister... "

"Sister, don't worry, I just don't want to believe it." Fu Niang shook her head self-consciously, a little disappointed, "Sister Cao... I also met a few years ago, the granddaughter of the Minister of the Household Department, how could the tutor not understand?" Okay? I also heard that the emperor ordered her to hire her to be His Royal Highness Duke Huai's concubine. With her background and style of conversation, her mother-in-law will rub her against her after she gets married..."

This - is really unfounded worry!

A look of helplessness flashed across Huiniang's face, but Funiang had already passed her 15th birthday - recently the housekeeper was busy tidying up a yard in the outer courtyard so that Qin Jiarong could move to the outer courtyard, and told Funiang about her marriage , Seeing that she will be put on the agenda, she will express such emotion and worry, which cannot be said to be aimless.

However, even if Funiang's future mother-in-law is harsh and mean, in front of Funiang whose natal family is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, she will not have the confidence of a noble concubine. Concubine Huai is tired of coping with just one simple move because of her identity. Funiang's future mother-in-law will not have such a natural support.

Moreover, Hui Niang quickly recalled it. She remembered that in the previous life, although Fu Niang also married a relative of Wei's natal family, her fate was much better than her own. After only one year of marriage, she gave birth to a son, and married her husband. They also respect each other - at least she has never heard of any quarrel between the two.

Hui Niang has not been able to find suitable words of comfort to Fu Niang. Fortunately, Fu Niang did not expect to really get comfort from her sister, and the tone of her speech was more like she was talking to herself, "Sister Cao Even after we got married, we worked so hard, wouldn't our background be even more..."

She suddenly raised her head and glanced at Hui Niang, as if she suddenly remembered that the two of them had different backgrounds in detail. She had a better life than An Niang a few years ago, but it was also thanks to her twin brother, but now Anu Niang Niang was able to enter the palace alone to meet the queen, and the difference between her and Animian became obvious immediately.

The previous condescending posture should have been put away long ago, but she didn't realize it until now, she got up quickly, and hurriedly said: "I should go back to my room when I've been bothering my second sister for so long, and I'll come to my younger sister some other day lets chat."

Naturally, Huiniang will not keep Funiang, and she will not care about Funiang because of this unintentional sentence—she really feels that it doesn't matter now, all her hopes and thoughts are placed on what the queen said. That bit of tone, because when facing the sisters, the posture is more calm, even detached.

The East Wing was finally quiet, and then Hui Niang asked Ban Xia to help her remove her hair, re-do the big braids at home, and changed her robes, she lay on the bed, and unconsciously took a nap.

***

After entering the palace, Animian's life is no different from the past—Qin Mengyuan treated Animian differently before she entered the palace to meet the queen, but the queen only showed her a box of snacks, a box of After the fruit, these promises of treating each other with respect quickly disappeared again.

Liu Yiniang used to be very warm to Hui Niang, she would ask her servant girl to bring things to the East Wing in different ways every three days, but as Qin Mengyuan's attitude became indifferent, she also became alienated from Hui Niang.Only brother Ming was young, and in the past few months, under the arrangement of Liu Yiniang, he was often carried by the nanny to play with Hui Niang.

For this youngest brother, Hui Niang gradually began to love her more sincerely, and occasionally she would make some small things for Brother Ming when she was free.Sixth Yiniang is naturally more happy to be alone with Brother Ming, so she accepts the things that Animiang gave to Brother Ming, and although she is courteous, she does not reduce the number of times that Brother Ming comes to play with her sister.

In September, the weather gradually cooled down, and the results of Qin Jiarong's rural examination came out, and he was firmly selected as a scholar, which made Qin Mengyuan and the old lady overjoyed, and soon made arrangements to talk about Qin Jiarong's marriage.Although the eldest son of the family does not occupy the title of heir, his marriage must be agreed by Qin Mengyuan and the old lady at the same time.Naturally, the Wei family can't be lazy, and these days they also help to inquire about various famous ladies, and help Qin Mengyuan and the old lady give advice.

With Qin Jiarong's marriage getting busy, Funiang's marriage of the same age was also put in front of the elders-speaking of which, Funiang and Rongge were born on the same day, and Funiang was still a sister and a girl, and she was 16 years old. It is not uncommon for the sons and daughters of the imperial court to marry a wife later, some delaying to twenty.

It's just that Qin Mengyuan's lineage is passed down through a single line. In Huiniang's generation, the only direct brothers in the family are Brother Rong and Brother Ming. Four or five years later, Qin Mengyuan was anxious to let his son carry on the family line, so he had no choice but to let his mother and wife see each other from now on.

Because of this, Funiang's marriage has become a matter that needs to be resolved urgently - the big families in the Guochao have always paid attention to the order, especially when it comes to the marriage between brothers and sisters. Marriage is not so easy to talk about.But Qin Mengyuan was just asking about his daughter's marriage. Although he has a high position and authority now, he couldn't find any suitable candidates, so he handed over this matter to Wei Shi, and only urged that it should be done quickly. .Hui Niang watched coldly, compared to Brother Rong's marriage, the Wei family was more concerned about Fu Niang's marriage. Recently, Auntie often went to Wei's to serve, and when she occasionally returned to the old lady's yard, she often had a look on her face. mind.

The elders have their own busy schedules, and Hui Niang spent a few days with peace of mind.By the end of September, she had also moved to live in the East Side Courtyard. The house was refurbished and it was much more comfortable than the East Wing.She also asked Forsythia to help bring some seeds from outside. After writing and embroidering every day, she also planned to plant some flowers and plants in the yard. If she was lucky enough to grow something, it would be regarded as a scene in the small courtyard.Recently, I have been busy dividing up areas in the yard, and I have also found some new fun in it.

This day, Anise and Pinellia were discussing how to find some flowerpots, and planted the seeds in the flowerpots first, and if they could germinate, the seedlings would be transplanted into the yard after they survived the winter safely in the house.Banxia's family was born as a dowry of the old lady. Her mother's sister was the maid who took care of flowers and plants in the old lady's yard back then. According to the idea of ​​God, the two masters and servants tinker with these flowers and plants every day, and they are more intimate than before.At the moment, she was also squatting in the yard talking and laughing, Hui Niang was still holding a small shovel in her hand, and was about to dig down the soil, when she turned around and asked the little maid to bring a shovel and find a flower pot, Lian Qiao was panting. Ran in from the yard.

Ban Xia and Hui Niang looked at each other, and they could see the strange expression on Lian Qiao's face: Although Lian Qiao had not been serving in the inner courtyard for a long time, she was not stable, but she was rarely so frizzy, panting and galloping when.Ban Xia hurriedly took the shovel from Hui Niang's hand and put it aside, then hurried forward a few steps, grabbing Lian Niang who was about to rush into the house without seeing Hui Niang squatting in the corner of the yard. Qiao, "Lianqiao, you are running in such a hurry, is there a dog chasing you?"

Only then did Lianqiao notice that Huiniang and Banxia were in the yard, she grabbed Banxia's arm with her backhand, and pulled her to the front of Huiniang, "Second girl, the old lady's house is getting into trouble for some reason, I I just went to talk to my mother, and when I came back, I saw the eldest girl and the fourth girl were rushing to the old lady's room."

Hui Niang just stood up, and was patting the corner of her skirt casually, she couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard Lianqiao's words, "Why did you make a fuss? Who made a fuss with whom?"

Lian Qiao shook her head, "Because I don't know why, there are many maids and women in the old lady's yard, so I didn't dare to go over to listen, but I could only vaguely hear my aunt's yelling, she sounded quite angry..."

"Auntie?" Huiniang couldn't figure it out even more. Auntie has been in the mansion for so many years and is known for being a good-natured person—she has a pair of twins and is the biological mother of Qin's eldest son. Naturally, there is no need to fight or grab anything. If you want to be angry, you must have a reason and the person is not right. Why is she angry?

"Girl," Lian Qiao's voice carried a hint of urgency, "Eldest Miss and Fourth Miss have passed away, so why don't you tidy up and go to the old lady's room..."

Before she finished speaking, Hui Niang interrupted Lian Qiao, "I'm not going." She shook her head, "Eldest sister and fourth sister, maybe the old lady or the wife called me, and no one came to call me, It's easy to get angry with people after passing by like this."

Now Hui Niang just wants to live her little life quietly every day, as long as things don't come to her, she will definitely not look for them - at least wait for a few months, until the position of Princess Rongcheng's companion is settled, goodbye Take a step forward and arrange the next thing.

As for things like rushing over to join in the fun as soon as there was an accident in the old lady's yard, Hui Niang felt that she had no such status, and she was not interested in such things, so she immediately rejected Lianqiao's proposal.However, looking at Forsythia's flickering eyelashes, she looked curious and unwilling...

"I'm definitely not going to join in the excitement now, and I advise you all not to go there at this time." She fixed her eyes on Lianqiao, "If it's really a big deal, we'll know about it—— Lianqiao, if you I really want to know, I will give you a night off tonight, and you will know everything when you go home and meet your mother?"
