Zou brought her children to Beijing this time, met Wang Yan and Hui Niang on the first day, and then went to the Shangshu Mansion to meet the old lady and Qin Mengyuan after a day's rest.Now she is happy for Zou and Shanniang to go to Beijing, and when she heard the news from the Shangshu Mansion, she just called Zisu to ask her: "The Shangshu Mansion, does it mean that Lingniang's wedding date has been fixed? ?”

Now by Hui Niang's side, Banxia is in charge of the internal affairs of the mansion, Zisu is in charge of human relations outside, and Lianqiao is by their side, learning a little from everywhere, and because her parents are still working in Shangshu's mansion, most of the time they are Follow Zisu to learn how to deal with people outside.

The affairs of her natal family can also be regarded as "outside" affairs, and it is the right way to ask perilla or forsythia.

Zisu replied without thinking, "Yes, it's been decided. It's October. I'll go out after the Double Ninth Festival."

Hui Niang nodded, "Remember to prepare a gift in advance and give it to you when the time comes." She also heard about Shan Niang's going to the Shangshu Mansion, and then remembered that Ling Niang and Shan Niang were about the same age, and then she also thought of Ling Niang. marriage.Back then Lingniang took the opportunity to make a fuss, but she only got such a result, she just waited for the time to get married in a hurry, I don't know if she would have any regrets in her heart.

She shook her head, and quickly forgot about Lingniang.Only Zisu continued: "There is also the marriage of the eldest and young master. In May, we should also prepare something - the old lady even sent a message, saying that His Highness will come in person that day."

"You just look at the preparations. The test will be over by then. If there is nothing else, I'll go for a walk." The matter was settled like this. Animian took a sip of tea and asked Zisu, "How about you?" At Prince Huai's mansion, the third sister-in-law and the eldest grandson of the emperor are not in good health, and if you arrange for someone to send some medicinal materials there, it is our wish whether they use it or not." After thinking about it, he added, "The last one What did Yue send? This time, I will send you a different past."

Zisu replied, "Yes."

Anenniang simply discussed with Zisu all the human relations that needed to be arranged in the near future, "The eldest grandson of the emperor is weak, and the third sister-in-law is concerned about her son, and her health is also a little bad. When I saw her in the first month, she looked so thin, and her face was pale. It looks good, so many layers of powder can't cover it... But I saw my second sister-in-law in Changxin Palace a while ago, she didn't look very healthy..."

After more than half a year of experience, now Zisu can talk about the affairs of these royal relatives in a logical manner, "If it is really like what the princess said, the first princess and concubine are bored in the room all day, how can she be in good health?" .”

Hui Niang nodded, "I was thinking, since the third sister-in-law has already given medicinal materials, why not give the second sister-in-law some health-replenishing medicinal materials. However, the second sister-in-law is now living inside the palace wall, so it is not good to give her medicinal materials deliver."

Zi Su also showed embarrassment, "If this is not delivered well, it will be taboo."

Hui Niang hesitated for a while, but finally gave up the idea, "It's not convenient for me and my second sister-in-law to get too close, let's talk about it later when I have a chance." Then she told Zisu: "My cousin is preparing for an exam recently. , you go back and prepare some body-replenishing medicinal materials and send them to your aunt."

"Yes." There was a flash of joy on Zisu's face, but she was soon suppressed, and she talked with Hui Niang for a while before leaving the room.

Hui Niang stared at Zisu's back for a while, she didn't ignore the strange color on Zisu's face this time, she inevitably became suspicious in her heart, when Zisu left the yard, she called Ban Xia, screened off the others, Ask her quietly: "Do you think that Zisu is very happy when she hears about my aunt's family recently?"

Ban Xia was still a little puzzled at first, she tilted her head and pondered for a while, then smiled lightly: "Your Highness may have misunderstood, Sister Zi Su is not happy when she hears Mrs. Tang and Young Master Tang, but when she hears that there is a chance. I’m happy to go to Plum Blossom Hutong.”

"Isn't it different?"

"There's a huge difference." Ban Xia was also afraid that Hui Niang would misunderstand Zi Su, thinking that she had coveted Qin Jiahong, and hurriedly said, "Sister Zi Su dare not mention it to you because she is afraid that you will be overwhelmed or difficult." Do... Sister Zisu didn't have any thoughts on Master Tang, but when she went to Plum Blossom Alley for the first time, she accidentally bumped into the owner and his brother, the neighbor of Mrs. Tang's house. According to Butler Liu, the owner of the house It seems that he is a mule driver, and he only has the honor of raising others, and he works as a teacher in a school near Plum Blossom Hutong. His younger brother does not seem to have any fame, and even if he has, he is at most a scholar - according to Sister Zisu, he looks strong and strong of."

Only then did Hui Niang suddenly realize, "Is Sister Zisu interested in the owner or his brother?"

"Probably." Ban Xia was not quite sure, "Sister Zi Su only said that she ran into two brothers from this family that day, and didn't say anything else."

"This is a happy event, what can't I mention?" Hui Niang felt defensive for a while, "Whether it's a juror or a scholar, is it possible that Zisu's current status will not be able to be married?" She thought for a while, and she had already made up her mind. I made up my mind, "This matter is related to Zisu, so it's not appropriate to let her pass on the message. I'll write a letter to my aunt first, and let Zisu take it with me, and then I will go there and talk to my aunt in detail..."

Immediately went to the study to write a letter, sealed it and asked Pinellia to go back and take it to Zisu, and sent it to Zou Shi along with the medicinal materials.I couldn't help sighing again, "If this thing can really happen, it's not in vain that the old lady arranged Sister Zisu to be by my side, it's much better than being by the elder brother's side."

"I don't know how many times stronger that is." Ban Xia hurriedly echoed, "Just looking at Bai Shu, I coaxed the young master at that time. Now that I have children, life is getting more and more sad. Last time I went back, Zhu Sha told me in private We, now that the young master has collected mulberry branches, mulberry leaves, and a little maid beside Bai Shu, we don't favor Bai Shu so much."

"Baishu's current reliance is not just a word of 'favor'." Hui Niang didn't want to comment on Qin Jiarong's bad things, so she quickly changed the subject, and only focused on discussing with Banxia how to fulfill Zisu's wishes, and then Ask Ban Xia: "Is there anything you value? Don't be shy, just tell me, now that I have some status and ability, how can I fail to make good marriages for the people around me!"

***

Hui Niang made a good plan, but the exam was just around the corner, so she only talked to Mrs. Zou in the letter, and she didn't use such a thing to distract Mrs. Zou at this time.Two days before the test, Wang Yan specially reminded Hui Niang that she should send someone to visit the Zou family, that's when Hui Niang thought of it.

She couldn't help joking, "You care more about your cousin than I do."

"Senior Brother Jiayu is a rare handsome young man." Wang Yan praised Qin Jiahong, and then asked Hui Niang, "I heard that your private address to Senior Brother Jiayu and Teacher's Wife doesn't seem to come from Qin Shangshu. ?”

It is impossible for Wang Yan not to know about the estranged relationship between Hui Niang and the Shangshu Mansion after the husband and wife have been together for nearly a year.Coupled with the fact that he knew that Anise grew up in her hometown, he naturally had his own guesses.

Now the young couple are getting closer and closer, although they haven't reached the point where they have everything to say, but since Wang Yan asked about it, Hui Niang didn't hide it from him, and told Qin Mengzhang and Bai's other story in detail. Layer cousin relationship.

"I grew up in my uncle's family, firstly because my uncle and aunt are kind-hearted, and secondly because of the cousin relationship between my mother and uncle, otherwise I don't know which small broken house the patriarch will arrange for me to fend for myself. It is also because of this that when I was in my hometown, I only talked about my mother's relationship in private, and I only talked about my cousin relationship in front of outsiders."

Wang Yan could only shake his head when he heard this, but the relationship between Qin Jiahong and Hui Niang had nothing to do with Qin Mengyuan, which was beneficial to Wang Yan himself.Although Qin Mengyuan was his father-in-law, he didn't think highly of this man who was good at adapting to the situation, nor could he see through him, so he was always on guard.

Hui Niang talked about her life in her hometown, and when she mentioned mung beans, both husband and wife laughed.

"It's a pity that my aunt and the others didn't bring the mung beans when they came to Beijing this time." Hui Niang said with a little nostalgia, "It is said that the dog has grown up and it is inconvenient to carry it on the road, and Jia Dai refused to let it go."

"Does your little cousin have a talent for reading like your cousin?"

"Auntie said that Jiadai's talent is only average, not considered material for studying, but there is no other way for him to arrange for him, so he has to study."

"That would be easy to delay." Wang Yan only felt that it was a pity, "It's better to bring them together. In case your cousin shows other talents, you can cultivate them from an early age."

Hui Niang shook her head, "These things have to be arranged by uncle and aunt as parents, we outsiders can't do it for us." Using this introduction, she mentioned two major events planned for her natal family this year, especially Qin Jiarong's marriage was imminent, and she was determined to go there, but Wang Yan had to ask whether he wanted to go there together or not.

"My natal brother's marriage next month, can't you make it through?"

After Wang Yan asked about the day, he was also a little uncertain, "These days, my father has given me a lot of errands. Although we can't do it ourselves, we have to avoid it, but we have to learn from the adults--Three There are many things in my brother's family, and the emperor has allowed him to come and go freely, although the third brother may not be willing to let go of this opportunity...but I can't get away easily."

"You just see, come when you are free, there is nothing you can do if you are too busy." Hui Niang didn't force Wang Yan to make up her mind immediately, she paused, and said: "Say To be honest, I also don't want to go there... Although I don't know my future sister-in-law, I always feel that our family has cheated her, and I can't bear it."

"It's also the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker." Wang Yan did not comment on Qin Jiarong's marriage, and it was difficult for him to feel any sympathy for Qin Jiarong's future wife, whom he had never met.Not to mention, Wang Yan has seen this kind of eldest son born first, even the emperor's family, although the eldest prince was not born when the empress first entered the door, but... After all, there are still sons who were born before the first son. in front of.

Perhaps in Wang Yan's eyes, these kinds of things are very similar, but Huiniang Huiniang just couldn't help feeling worthless for her future sister-in-law.

"However, it's fortunate that Sister Zisu didn't really follow Big Brother, and now she still has a good marriage waiting for her." After finishing speaking, he added and subtracted about Zisu, "If this can happen, it's not What a great marriage, it’s a hundred times better than staying with elder brother!”

After hearing this, Wang Yan was thoughtful: "It would be great if this matter can be accomplished. With Zisu's current status, going out to marry Juren would not insult the other party's status. By the way, I also have something to discuss with you. Zhou Cen, the guard of your house, thinks that the maid in your room, Banxia, ​​is a good one, look..."

Hui Niang heard what Wang Yan meant, and Zhou Cen also knew that although she was older, she was not yet thirty, although it was a bit late to marry a wife, but if she and Ban Xia had mutual intentions, they would be a good match.However, if you don't ask Ban Xia's meaning about such a matter, she can't answer for Ban Xia, and she is afraid that Wang Yan will force some mandarin ducks, so she hurriedly said: "We must first ask Ban Xia's meaning, if she doesn't like Zhou Cen, I don't agree to this marriage."

Wang Yan chuckled twice, "You are a good master, and you really care about the maids around you."

"That's natural." Hui Niang said: "Isn't a maid not a human being? I always have my own preferences, I can't choose..." When she looked up, she saw Wang Yan's expression was unhappy, and she hurriedly asked for help: "I already have one. If you choose the best, of course the maids around you can't be worse!"
