After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

In a blink of an eye, it was Mrs. Pei's birthday, and it had been more than three months since Yan Qingqing left Canghe Town.

The New Year is coming up in more than a month, and Yan Qingqing estimates that Yuan Huiniang and the others are about to enter Beijing.

She also specifically ordered Butler Yu to clean out some of the largest yards in the house.

Because Yan Qingqing was going to attend Mrs. Pei's birthday party, Ruyi and Ruxue were busy looking for clothes for Yan Qingqing to match her head and face early in the morning.

Yan Qingqing looked at the two of them and smiled: "You two don't have to be so grand, just dress more formally than usual.

Today is Mrs. Pei’s birthday, we can’t take over the honors. "

Today is Mrs. Pei's birthday. Why would she, a widow, dress so grandly to avoid people talking behind her back?

Despite Yan Qingqing's instructions, Ruyi and Ruxue still chose as gorgeous clothes as possible.

They don't want their wives to lose face in front of other ladies.

In the end, the two of them unanimously chose a sky-blue hookah dress, and a sapphire blue dotted emerald noodle set with two cat-eye-sized sapphires on it, which was particularly eye-catching.

Because the weather is relatively cold now, the two chose a pure white fox fur cloak.

Yan Qingqing's skin color is fair, so she looks even more refined when dressed like this. She doesn't look like a grandmother at all.

Yan Qingqing looked in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh that these two girls were becoming more and more discerning.

Ah Da had prepared the carriage early. This carriage was specially gifted to Yan Qingqing by the emperor.

The carriage is made of golden nanmu, which is particularly strong. It is equipped with incense, cushions, backrests and stoves.

It was bigger and more imposing than the one they had in Chengyang County.

Ada helped Yan Qingqing get into the carriage, and a wave of warmth rushed towards her face. It felt really good.

Ada asked: "Ma'am, are you leaving now?"

Yan Qingqing replied calmly: "Wait a moment, you two girls and Mu Xi are not here yet."

Ada heard the words and quickly agreed.

Yan Qingqing rarely goes out to socialize, but when she does go out, she must maximize the value of her use.

Li Yueniang has already made an engagement with Han Yu. Now that Han Yu has entered the Hanlin Academy, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely hang out in the capital in the future.

In the future, Li Yueniang will have to hang out with these high-ranking ladies.

Yan Qingqing must take this opportunity to let Li Yueniang get familiar with the people and situations in the capital.

The Han family has no foundation in the capital. Even if Mrs. Han comes to the capital, these nobles may not like her.

But Li Yueniang was different. At least she had a mother who was Mrs. Mingzhao, and there were capable brothers in her family.

Mu Xi is Yan Qingqing's daughter-in-law. Even if Li Xiangan does not enter politics in the future, no one can underestimate her.

Li Yueniang and Mu Xi didn't keep Yan Qingqing waiting for long, and they quickly got on the carriage.

Li Yueniang is wearing a pale pink dress, a white fox fur waistcoat, and a ruby ​​​​of the same color on her head, which makes her small face even more pink and white.

After all, Li Yueniang is still young, so she looks a little more playful when dressed like this.

Mu Xi is wearing light blue clothes with the same style of hair and face, and her whole person looks much more stable.

When Mu Xi and Li Yueniang saw Yan Qingqing looking them both up and down, they lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Yan Qingqing chuckled and said, "It's pretty good-looking. Don't feel embarrassed. Just be generous when meeting people."

Both of them nodded when they heard this.

When Ada saw that everyone had arrived, he drove the carriage to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

The Pei family has made meritorious deeds from generation to generation. Mr. Pei is the general of the country and has the title of Duke. The emperor specially awarded a plaque to the general's mansion of the country.

This is not an ordinary mansion. All visitors must have civilian officials dismount from their sedan chairs and military attachés from their horses.

This honor is also the first for the Great Yan Dynasty.

Mingzhao Mansion is not far from General Mansion, only two streets apart.

Soon Yan Qingqing and the others arrived at the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

Old Mrs. Pei celebrates her 60th birthday this year, and General Pei is not around. The Pei family wants to make Old Mrs. Pei happy, so the birthday banquet is arranged with great grandeur.

When Yan Qingqing and the others arrived, many carriages were already parked in front of Pei's house.

Yan Qingqing's carriage is really nothing among these illustrious carriages.

As soon as they stopped the carriage, a boy came over to hold the horse.

Over at the Pei family, Mrs. Pei was talking with Old Mrs. Pei. She heard that a servant came to report that Mrs. Mingzhao was here.

Mrs. Pei said to Mrs. Pei with a smile on her face: "The distinguished guest is here, and you are still lazy here. Why don't you go outside to greet him?"

Mrs. Pei also came from a family of military generals and had a carefree temper. After hearing this, she quickly responded: "Okay, my daughter-in-law will go to greet her right now."

After saying that, he was about to leave Mrs. Pei's room.

Old Mrs. Pei immediately stopped her and said, "Remember to bring it over and show it to me."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Pei smiled and replied: "Mom, I understand, you have said this several times."

Ever since Mrs. Pei posted a message to Yan Qingqing, Mrs. Pei has been saying that if Mrs. Mingzhao comes, she must bring it to her to see.

When Yan Qingqing took Li Yueniang and Mu Xi there, he seemed particularly conspicuous.

After all, the three of them are relatively unfamiliar to these ladies in the capital, and they are particularly outstanding in appearance.

It's not that everyone doesn't know Yan Qingqing, after all, many people saw her on the day she went to Wu's house.

Soon people around started talking.

[This is Mrs. Mingzhao. She doesn’t look like she comes from a small place with her appearance and demeanor. 】

[Look at the clothes on her body and the hair on her head. This outfit costs at least a thousand taels.]

[That is, after all, he made his fortune from merchants, so naturally he smells like copper. 】

Not everyone has a good impression of Yan Qingqing. Looking at this sharp and mean voice, it doesn't take much to think that they are jealous of her.

Li Yueniang couldn't bear it anymore and was about to reply.

Yan Qingqing pulled her and smiled and said: "What's wrong with you kid? You have to imitate some people who spit shit all over their mouths.

They are shameless when they are older, but you cannot be shameless when you are young. "

Yan Qingqing said this in a loud voice, almost everyone at the door of Pei's house heard it.

I don’t know who was the first to be unable to bear it any longer, and then there was a burst of laughter.

The lady who scolded Yan Qingqing was so angry that she raised her eyebrows, but because of Yan Qingqing's fighting power just now, she dared not speak out in anger.

Just when everyone was feeling embarrassed, a very cheerful voice said: "Oh, how can you stand here in the cold when you have a distinguished guest? The servants at home did not entertain you well. I am here to apologize to you ladies and gentlemen." .

But let’s start with the dirty talk. If you ladies come to congratulate my old lady on her birthday, my Pei family will naturally welcome you. If you make trouble for nothing and offend our distinguished guests, please don’t let me become ruthless. "

Pei Zisheng is now the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, a popular figure in front of the emperor, and the Zhenguo General's Mansion not only has old General Pei, but also has a former empress, so no one dares to look down on Mrs. Pei.

Everyone smiled at Mrs. Pei when they spoke.

Mrs. Pei did not have a deep chat with the ladies, but turned her attention to Yan Qingqing.
