Chapter 197 Happy Events (1)
On the sixth day after the test results came out, the Jiang family invited the official media to the Han family to propose marriage. Jiang Hongjin will try eighteen candidates this time, and his father is the servant of the household department. It is impossible for the Han family to refuse such a condition.
Han Jingyan got the news in advance, so he stayed in the mansion today. Of course, it is impossible for a big man like him to entertain the matchmaker. The old lady is too old to bear the fatigue, and Qiu Shi is unwilling to take care of it, so the task of entertaining finally falls on Ye Shi. Of course, since the two parties had already agreed in private, the matchmaker's visit was just a formality, and the two parties quickly exchanged birthdays.
When Yuxi heard the news, she just hummed and had no other reaction. In the past few days, she has been thinking about what Sister Quan said, and then reflecting on herself. It's hard not to deny it, she is really lacking in knowing people.
Zi Su asked cautiously: "Girl, what's the matter with you recently?" The girl's face was sullen these days, and she couldn't see a smile. All the people in Tao Ranju were cautious because the girl was in a bad mood.
Yuxi shook her head and said: "It's nothing, you go out!" After Zisu turned around and was about to go out, Yuxi said again: "Please come over here." high.
After a while, Mammy Quan came in.
Yuxi said: "Mommy, can you tell me about the affairs in the palace?" Aunt Quan had never heard her talk about the affairs in the palace, but at this moment she wanted to hear it very much. Although she has been working hard to change herself these years, she is really lacking in experience. Sharp eyes and so on are all exercised.
Sister Quan said with an unchanged expression: "What's wrong with this, I can tell you anything you want to hear." As long as it's not a secret, it doesn't hurt to tell Yuxi.
It took one afternoon and one night to say this. At the end of the talk, Quan Nuo said: "I tell the girl this, in the hope that the girl will act more thoughtfully in the future. Being innocent on the surface doesn't necessarily mean being really innocent." Sister Quan's words were not talking about Zhou Shiya, but just reminding Yuxi to be more careful and be more careful.
Yu Xi smiled wryly, but did not answer Madam Quan's words.
The next day, when Yu Xi walked out after morning practice, she heard the magpies on the branches screaming non-stop. Zisu said: "I'm afraid something good will happen today." It is well known that magpies come to good things. The girl has been in a bad mood recently, so she just hoped that something good would happen to wash away the depression. It's a pity that from morning to evening, the mansion was peaceful and quiet.
Zisu waited desperately, until it was getting dark and gave up, when she saw a person walking outside. When Zisu saw the person coming, she wiped her eyes to make sure she was right, and then she was happy and said, "Zijin, you're back."
Zijin showed her big white teeth and said, "Well, I'm back. This time I'm back, I won't leave." The girl is going to get married, so she must go out with her.
Zisu hurriedly took Zijin's hand and went to the study room, and said to Yuxi who was reading a book: "Girl, hurry up and see who is back?" The girl will definitely be very happy to see Zijin. Sure enough, as she expected, when the girl saw Zijin, the expression on her face eased a lot. .
Yuxi was very surprised: "Zijin, why are you back? You didn't tell me when you came back, so I can send someone to pick you up on the mountain."
Zijin smiled and said, "I can come back by myself, so I don't need someone to pick me up."
Zi Su asked: "Zi Jin, the letter was sent to you a long time ago, why did you come back now." There was no sound at all when the letter was sent, and she thought that Zi Jin didn't want to come back.
Zijin felt a little guilty: "When I received the girl's letter, I wanted to go down the mountain. But Master Yang didn't allow me to go down the mountain. There was no one else on the mountain except me and Brother Yu, so I couldn't send the message down. Girl, let you I'm worried."
Yuxi was very curious: "Master Yang, why didn't you let you go down the mountain?" An upright man like Master Yang,
How could you do such a rogue thing.
Zi Jin also felt baffled: "Master Yang said he would accept me as a closed disciple, and he also said that he would help me get rid of slavery. I didn't agree, so he wouldn't let me go down the mountain." She went up to the mountain to learn art to protect the girl. slavery. Zijin didn't feel that she was ashamed of being Yuxi's maid at all. On the contrary, she felt that she was very happy to meet the girl and be the person next to the girl.
Hearing this, Yuxi finally showed a long-lost smile on her face. At least, she's not that bad, and there are two people who follow her sincerely: "I've been driving for a day, go wash up first. I'll ask Mrs. Guo to cook something delicious for you."
After eating and drinking enough, at Yuxi's request, Zijin talked about her life on the mountain. In fact, Zijin's life on the mountain was very boring, because she felt that she couldn't be sorry for the six hundred taels of silver she paid every year, so she practiced kung fu except for doing housework. Master Yang didn't teach, so she hid and peeked when Master Yang was teaching Yu Zhi. Then, in the dead of night, I ran out to practice secretly by myself. Of course, it's impossible that Master Yang didn't know about her stealing, but he just wanted to see if Zijin could persevere, who would have expected Zijin to persist for a year. It was also this strength that moved Master Yang. Later, when Master Yang taught Yu Zhi, she allowed her to listen by the side.
It took a year for Master Yang to let go, and Yuxi could imagine how stubborn this Master Yang was, and immediately said: "I made you suffer." This girl is so resilient.
Zijin smiled and said, "It's not bitter. Girl, I'll never leave you again when I come back this time." With food, drink, and martial arts, she really didn't think it was bitter at all.
After hearing this, Yuxi also smiled and said: "Okay! You will stay by my side from now on, and you won't go anywhere." She didn't make real friends, at least she got such a loyal servant girl. Not so rasp.
The next day, Yuxi took Zijin to the main courtyard to meet Qiu Shi.
Qiu Shi has always been thinking about Zijin, this girl saved the lives of everyone in her yard. Maybe it was because she was getting old, and when she saw Zijin, she couldn't help but muttered: "You girl, why are you so tanned? What will you say to others in the future?" Zijin and Yuxi are the same age, both sixteen years old. Qiu Shi was going to say a good kiss to this girl, but in this way, she had to cover her whites first. Otherwise, who would dare to marry such a dark girl.
Zijin showed her big white teeth again, and said: "I don't want to marry, and I will serve girls all my life." These words are not words, but Zijin's true thoughts.
Qiu said with a smile: "What stupid things are you talking about? Marriage and serving your girl are not in conflict." But thinking of Zijin's strange power, she was worried again. Even a Hercules like Zijin, who heard a little No one dares to marry anyone who is notorious.
Yuxi looked at Zijin uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't make fun of Zijin. This girl has a thin skin."
A group of people were chatting and joking when the woman outside came in and said, "Ma'am, the concubine is happy." The concubine naturally refers to Yuchen.
Qiu Shi was not interested in this, and said: "Does the old lady know?" Seeing the old lady nodding, she immediately said: "Tell this matter to my grandma, and let her handle it." Chen didn't like it very much either, so she has always been indifferent to Yuchen. Even if Yuchen became a princess, she still has the same attitude and never changes.
The mother-in-law responded and left.
But Yuxi said very strangely: "I remember that the child can't tell the outside world until it's three months old?" Yuchen only had a little more than a month at most, how could it spread! This is strange.
Qiu didn't think too much about it, mainly because she felt that the affairs of the palace had nothing to do with her, so why bother to bother: "I only hope that Yuxi can get pregnant so quickly when you marry into the Chen family." All good, but these are false. Only after giving birth to a son can he gain a firm foothold. Like her, she gave birth to Jianming in the second year after entering the door, and then gave birth to Jianye. With two sons by her side, no matter how much Aunt Rong makes a fuss, or how she quarrels with the elder, it will not shake her position in the Han family.
Yuxi blushed like an apple.
Qiu said with a smile: "There's nothing to be shy about, women have to experience this sooner or later."
Yuchen's pregnancy is a great happy event for the entire Duke's Mansion. The old lady ate half a bowl of rice happily, and then assigned Qiu Shi to visit Yuchen in the palace the next day.
There is no way for the old lady to let Qiu Shi go. Wen Shi is still in confinement, so it is definitely impossible to go. Of course, even if Wen Shi is not in confinement, the old lady will not let her go, for fear of making a mistake and embarrassing her! Therefore, we can only work on Qiu's
Qiu Shi used to follow the old lady very much, she would never say anything when the old lady said one thing, but now, Qiu Shi shook her head and said: "Mother, let Brother Ming's daughter-in-law go! Now Brother Ming's daughter-in-law is the Duke of the state. It is most suitable for her to be the head wife of the mansion." She has always been indifferent to the third girl, and now she is asked to be a loving aunt, and she can't pretend.
The old lady asked Qiushi to go because she hoped that Qiushi would tell Yuchen the things that women should pay attention to when they are pregnant. Qiu gave birth to two children and took care of three pregnant women, so she has experience in this. And Mrs. Ye only gave birth to one daughter, so what experience can she impart.
Knowing what the old lady was thinking, Qiu said with a smile: "Mother, what about the imperial doctor and Mrs. Wen? Can I still compete with them? Mother, let Brother Ming's daughter-in-law go! She is responsible for the affairs of the mansion." Provoked it." In fact, Mrs. Ye had already provoked the backyard.
The old lady said: "Why did she pick it up? You are not in your fifties or sixties. It only takes half a day to go to the palace." At first, Qiu knew that Ye could not regenerate and was very dissatisfied, but after a long time, seeing Ye's heart softened as she took care of the housework and took care of Xiao Qi conscientiously. After Mrs. Ye took good care of Aunt Jia, the dissatisfaction disappeared. Compared with Qiu's heart, the old lady couldn't let go. She had always been worried about Ye's concealment of her body when she got married, and always felt that she was cheated.
The son has become the Duke of the country, and Qiu's confidence is also full: "Mother, I have been tired all these years, and now I want to spend a few days of leisure. Leave these trivial matters to Brother Ming's daughter-in-law! Brother Ming's daughter-in-law speaks." You are better than me in handling things." Qiu Shi didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Shi being better than her.
After hearing this, the old lady felt as if a stone had been crushed in her heart, and she couldn't breathe. But she knew that now she couldn't do anything to Qiu Shi. Qiu Shi didn't want to go, and she reluctantly refused to come. Right now, I can only compromise. In the entire Duke's Mansion, the only person who can go out to socialize is Mrs. Ye. Others are not suitable. The old lady has no other choice but to compromise.
