Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Mrs. Sheng: "Ahem!!!"

Ms. Feng withdrew her gaze from Ms. Wang. When she heard Wang Ruoyu's name, she secretly rolled her eyes with disgust and continued: "It's said that the idlers gave her a random direction, and then someone The meddlesome newspaper merchant followed the random directions pointed by the idle man and asked with his money, guess what?"

Feng took a handkerchief and patted her thigh and said, "It's said that along the way, the little actor who entered the Earl's Palace went to several high-ranking families and cried!"

Everyone in Shou'antang was surprised. Even Fang's mother stopped making tea and listened carefully.

"ah?"

"What?"

"Didn't you go directly to the Yuan family?"

Mrs. Feng took a sip of tea. Mother Cui behind her looked at the tea cup and quickly offered a new cup of tea.

Mrs. Feng smiled slightly, feeling very comfortable being served, and secretly praised her in her heart.

Mrs. Feng looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "There was a time when this little lady came to the family of two brothers. However, after the female family came forward and sent someone to inquire, they sent the little actor out of the house properly."

Sheng Hong's face looked a little ugly. He knew that the Yuan family's mother-in-law and eldest daughter-in-law had some problems, but he didn't expect that the problem would be so big.

Feng continued: "I asked the newspaper merchants all the way, and there were actually seven or eight families. However, the Yuan family brought people in and spent the whole night. How can this single woman have a good reputation after entering the Earl's Mansion? , her brother makes trouble again."

Feng glanced at the old lady and said: "Some people who have had a lot of dealings with the Yuan family said that Uncle Yuan's eldest wife loved to listen to operas, so the eldest son of the Yuan family followed her mother. This took advantage of the fact that the master was not at home, and someone else Use money to smash the mouths of Yuan's servants and find out."

Feng said: "This idea came from Yuan Dalang's eldest wife. Now the Zhang family's natal family, the Zhang family, has a bad reputation in Bianjing!"

Sheng Hong drank tea with his head lowered and kept looking at his aunt, Mrs. Sheng, not daring to even look at Mrs. Wang.

At this time, a young female envoy outside the door said: "Old Madam, Master, Madam, the steward sent by our mansion has returned and is outside the courtyard.

Suqin glanced at Mrs. Sheng and said, "Let him come outside to listen to the questioning."

"yes!"

After a while, the steward came to the screen outside the hall, bowed and said: "Master, the villain has arrived."

Wang asked: "Steward, have you found the Yuan family's boat?"

"Back to Madam, I didn't find the Yuan family's hired ship. Instead, I found the fleets of Ningyuan Houfu and Yongyi Houfu. They said they would arrive in Yangzhou at noon on the first day of February."

Mrs. Sheng asked: "Who are the people from the Hou Mansion who are in the fleet?"

The steward recalled for a while and said: "Back to the old lady, Wu Lang of the Xu family is on the boat, as well as Mrs. Bai of the Gu family of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and Mrs. Xu, the wife of the eldest son."

Wang glanced at Feng and explained kindly: "Sister-in-law, she is Brother Jing's biological sister."

The old lady smiled and said: "Okay, Suqin, take five ounces of money as a reward and give it to me."

Feng looked at everyone in the Sheng family and asked, "Where is Brother Bai? Still studying?"

When Mrs. Wang heard her son, she smiled and said, "No, when I first came to pick up my sister-in-law, he was looking at the goldfish in the house."

Mrs. Wang was smiling happily when another little envoy came over and said: "There is a servant who claims to be the Yuan family of Earl Zhongqin's mansion at the door. He said that he would hire a boat to arrive at our Yangzhou dock early in the morning of February."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang stood up and angrily said: "The Yuan family still has the nerve to come to Yangzhou? Such a shameless portal is rare in the entire Zhou Dynasty! Only a blind person would look for this kind of portal!"

The last sentence was shouted at Sheng Hong, who tilted his head due to the spray.

Feng rolled her eyes and said softly to the old lady:

"Old madam, I think it would be better if someone takes my post to Jiangning Mansion later and buys the anecdotes about Bianjing published in detail by the merchant in the newspaper. I heard from my cousin that there are several young actors and actresses there. The name of the mansion that has been rejected. Be prepared and there will be no danger! If the Yuan family is honest, our two families will be in peace. If he dares to cheat."

Mrs. Sheng looked at Ms. Feng, nodded and said, "My daughter-in-law here has a sister-in-law from her mother's family who really cares about her and is good for her."

Feng said with a slight blush: "Old madam, you are so complimentary. Then I'll go see Brother Bai and come back on the first day of February."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, why don't you live here. It's so tiring traveling back and forth."

The old lady also said: "His aunt, the old lady has become deaf and blind in the past few years in Yangzhou. It's better to talk to us. After all, there is nothing wrong with the girls who come from the Chengguo Palace."

Mrs. Feng thought about her mother-in-law in Runzhou, then looked at the smiling Mrs. Sheng, and Mrs. Wang, whose face was full of desire to talk and listen. She hesitated for a while and looked at Mrs. Sheng again, and couldn't help but think of the letter from Beijing. Some things about the Xu family.

So, she nodded.

"Suqin, you will cook tonight yourself and prepare a table of Bianjing dishes."

"Yes, madam."

Mrs. Wang's eyes also lit up and she said to Mrs. Feng: "Sister-in-law, we are in for a treat today."

After speaking, he glanced at Fang’s mother.

Looking at the relaxed Shou Antang, Sheng Hong asked in a low voice: "Mother, why don't you let the children come to meet their aunt?"

Mrs. Sheng nodded.

In Lin Qige, Lin Sushuang picked the plainest and cheapest clothes for her two children to wear, and told her, "When you come to Aunt Wang's house, you must not steal the limelight from your brothers and sisters. Did you know that? That's the eldest lady's natal family. Seeing you like this Okay, I will definitely reprimand your father, do you understand?"

Chang Feng/Mo Lan: "I understand, mother."

In the side courtyard, Wei Shuyi also received a message from Shou'antang and found Minglan's best clothes for her to wear. With her big belly, she gently told her: "When you get to grandma's place, talk less and do more. Talk more, listen more, and read more. When my aunt asked, she said it was very good, do you know?"

Minglan pursed her lips and said, "But the food charcoal fire in our courtyard is all gone. If we don't get it, we will all freeze to death and starve to death!"

Wei Shuyi continued to tie Minglan's clothes and said: "Grandma called you over, she must be going to meet guests. This means that the Yuan family is coming to deliver betrothal gifts, and there will naturally be delicious food waiting for you. If you don't obey, , then I will let Xiaodie and Xiaotao go."

Minglan said: "Mom, you just want to scare me, so you won't let me go!"

"Turn around, let me take a look at your hair. It's fine, go ahead."

Soon all the children of the Sheng family came to Shou'an Hall.

Naturally, Lin Sushuang and Wei Shuyi didn't come.

It was only the children who came. After all, the only nominal mother of the children was Wang Ruofu, and the others were all mistresses.

Mrs. Feng looked at a room full of children in Shou'an Hall with a smile on her face, especially when she saw Hualan and Changbai. Seeing Rulan was like seeing a young and optimized version of Wang Ruofu. After all, Sheng Hong's shadow is there, making it look better.

Seeing Chang Feng and Mo Lan, Feng's smile faded a little, but she still praised them a few times.

When she saw Minglan, she glanced at Wang with some doubts. Wang introduced with a smile: "This is the daughter of Miss Wei who was sent by her mother, our Minglan."

Feng understood. She looked at Minglan, then at Molan and Rulan, everything was visible in her eyes.

Later, Mrs. Feng wanted to give a gift, but Mrs. Sheng stopped her. After all, it wasn't a New Year or any other important event, so how could Mrs. Feng spend money.

Mother Cui, who was standing on the other side, saw the way Feng looked at Minglan in her eyes, and Mrs. Sheng also noticed it.

After the children played for a while, when they went back, they all brought a basket of cakes for everyone to share.

Gone.
