Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

The twenty-first day of the first lunar month

Yangzhou

The letter Mrs. Hong received was sent on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it took 22 days to arrive in Yangzhou.

It was sent out on the eighth day of the lunar month from the Xu family in Bianjing. It was delivered in a hurry and arrived in Yangzhou after thirteen days.

Two quarters of the time (around 2 p.m.)

The shop manager who had sent the letter to the Hong family delivered the letter to the side door of the Sheng family.

The porter took the letter and saw the words "Yangzhou Tongpan Sheng Xu" on it and sent it to Shou'an Hall.

Fang's mother took the letter and came to the Shou'an Hall to look at it. She sighed. The old lady was so excited a few days ago that she couldn't sleep well at night. She drank some soothing decoction at noon and finally rested.

She put the letter aside and gave half the money to the woman as a reward for the delivery shop.

After receiving the reward, the store manager happily left the side door, turned a corner and came to the street, just in time to see two carriages from the Sheng family entering the gate.

When the carriage arrived at the second gate, Wang walked out of the first carriage angrily, with a very ugly face.

Hua Lan and Ru Lan got off the second carriage, both unhappy. Cuichan on the side said: "Girl, I thought about it on the way. If something really happened to the Yuan family in the Earl's Mansion, my aunt's family would have sent the letter long ago, and it would not have been delayed until today. It must be the second son of the Qiti Yan family." The girl is jealous of you.”

Hua Lan nodded and said: "I hope so. This third girl Hong knows that I don't want to deal with the second girl of the Qi family, so why do you still invite her? Is it just to embarrass me?"

Ru Lan said from the side: "Sister, I think that's the case. When I was arguing with the Qi family, she was still laughing!"

Hua Lan patted Ru Lan's hair and said, "Come on, come with me to pay your respects to grandma."

Rulan said unhappily: "Oh."

Mrs. Wang returned to the main hall of Wei Ruixuan. She sat on the Arhat bed, her chest still heaving with anger. She asked Cai Huan, the female envoy in the room: "Where is the master? Is he at that fox girl's place?"

Caihuan bowed slightly and said, "My wife, I'm at Lin Qi Pavilion."

"Call him to me."

"Yes, madam." Caihuan hurried out.

Mother Liu on the side came over and said: "Madam, please calm down, you know that the second girl of the Qi family has a problem with our eldest sister, so don't worry about any good words coming out of her mouth. "

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "First of all, I'm angry at what the little girl said. I'm also angry at the eldest lady of the Zhizhou family, why she invites everyone. Since I know that my Hualan family has a feud with this family, how can I return the post?" They must want them to embarrass our family. The Yan family deserves a beating."

Mother Liu hurried over to give Mrs. Wang some luck.

I calmed down for a while.

The female envoy outside shouted: "The Lord is here."

Sheng Hong walked into Wei Ruixuan with a somewhat unhappy look on his face, and asked as he walked: "What's wrong? Ask the female envoy to come to me in a hurry!"

Mrs. Wang stood up and said: "My lord, those who mentioned the Yan family should be beaten hard. Today, their female relatives actually spread rumors about our Hualan!"

Sheng Hong frowned when he heard what Wang said in front of him and said: "They are all colleagues, what can we do if we don't beat them! What? Creating rumors about Hualan?"

Sheng Hong frowned even more.

Wang said: "That person from the Qitiyan family, who is no match for Duke Qi, said that the husband's family you found for Hua Lan took an actor as a concubine years ago!"

Sheng Hong asked with surprise in his eyes: "Uncle Zhongqin Yuan's family? Taking concubines? Still an actor? Impossible. I think Uncle Yuan and Yuan Erlang are pretty good! Aren't you misinformed?"

Wang frowned and said, "Didn't you hear what I said was a rumor? If that's the case, could my sister not write to me?"

Mother Liu on the side said: "Master, it was the second girl of the Qi family who told Sister Ru directly that her sister's future husband's family had taken an actor as a concubine, and Sister Ru almost got into a fight with the second girl of the Qi family. "

Sheng Hong said "this" with a bad look on his face, and then there was no follow-up.

Mrs. Wang squinted and said, "I think the eldest lady from Zhizhou is jealous of my Hua Lan's marriage and wants to embarrass me, so that's all she wants. A man from the Yan family dares to fight with me and make me miserable." Hua Lan’s rumor is true!”

She glanced at Sheng Hong again and said, "If you don't bother their family, I will write to my brother and father's old friends!"

Sheng Hong looked at his eldest wife. He patted his clothes angrily and said, "Okay, I understand. Don't mess around. It's just jealous words between little girls. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Then Sheng Hong added: "Oh! Just because of one word, I will beat up the salt collector of a state. What do you think? It's just a rumor! You can just find an opportunity to fight back among the women. How can you still do it?" Find it on my head!"

Mrs. Wang said noisily: "I don't think you care about Hua'er! If Mo Lan is rumored, I think you are like this!"

"You! Hua Lan is Hua Lan, why are you talking about Mo Lan? It's really unreasonable."

At this time, a female envoy outside shouted: "Mother Cui is here."

Cui's mother in the old lady's room walked to the main hall of Wei Ruixuan with a solemn face, knelt down and said: "Master, madam, the old lady asked you two to come over because there is something important."

Shouantang,

Mrs. Sheng is sitting on the couch, with a small couch on her right hand side. The letter that was delivered in the afternoon is in the hands of the old lady.

Hua Lan Rulan came to pay her respects to her grandmother, and was left here by Mrs. Sheng.

Ru Lan sat awkwardly on the embroidered pier, glancing at her eldest sister from time to time, but did not dare to look at Mrs. Sheng.

"Su Qin, let Sister Ru go back to her yard. It's not comfortable to sit here."

Fang's mother said: "Yes, old lady. Sister Ru, let's go."

When Ru Lan heard this, she could see the joy in her eyes with her eyes closed.

"Thank you, grandma, Ru'er is gone." After saying this, Ru Lan walked a few steps quickly and left Shou'an Hall.

Hua Lan smiled and said, "Grandma, Ru Lan is ignorant, don't take it to heart."

Mrs. Sheng narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Why do you think of grandma so petty?"

"Ru Lan, this ignorant girl, isn't my granddaughter afraid of making you angry?"

"You, you."

"The Lord and Queen are here." Mother Cui shouted outside the house.

The expressions on Sheng Hong and Wang's faces had adjusted after this process. They entered the main hall of Shou'an Hall. Hua Lan stood up, and the couple met with the old lady.

The old lady said: "Sit down."

After speaking, he closed his eyes and raised his chin to Fang's mother.

Fang's mother said: "You all should go out, stay away, and watch the courtyard door."

The maids and ladies-in-law of Shouan Hall came out of the house one after another, and people stood at the door of the courtyard.

Mrs. Sheng looked at Hua Lan and Sheng Hong and said, "This afternoon, I received a letter from the Yongyi Marquis Mansion in Bianjing."

Sheng Hong sat sideways on the chair and asked respectfully: "Mother, have we agreed on when Brother Jing will come to our house?"

Hearing Xu Zaijing, Wang sat up straight and pricked up her ears, her eyes full of desire to listen.
