The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

After taking a sip of tea in his bedroom, he finally calmed down, and said: "Have you investigated the three newcomers from the palace?"

"I've asked you all." Baoqin said, "Concubine Li's father was named a concubine as soon as he entered the palace because of his military achievements. Lady Cao and Lady Xin are also from famous families, so they both got the status of nobles."

"What's so great about being born? Looking at Concubine Li's appearance today, one day I will kill myself." Jia Yuanchun glanced at the things that Concubine Li sent, all of which were jade bracelets and hairpins. Yes, he waved his hand and asked Baoqin to put it away, saying that he felt a headache when he saw it.

Baoqin pursed her lips, in fact, Concubine Li didn't say anything today, at most she was relying on her status as a concubine to establish rules, this is also a common thing in the palace.However, she raised her eyes and glanced at Jia Yuanchun, who was still angry. Since her master stepped into Fengzao Palace in the absence of the emperor, and the queen empress refused her service again and again, her temper has become worse and worse. She should be more careful. It's better not to be angered.

Jia Yuanchun became more and more unwilling, and after much deliberation, he ordered Baoqin to say: "Tomorrow, I will spread the word that I miss the old lady, and ask her to come into the palace to meet me."

Baoqin sighed softly in his heart, and said: "Yes." The old lady hadn't been to Fengzao Palace for a long time, and her master hadn't summoned her family for a long time. The old lady didn't know what to think.

As a result, Jia Yuanchun did not wait for Jia's mother the next day, but Xu Hui did, which made Jia Yuanchun black again.

Jia Yuanchun and Xu Hui were not on friendly terms, and it became even more embarrassing after the Wang incident happened. In addition, she couldn't get along with Xu Hui and Jia Min before, so she was not happy at all. I wanted to discuss with the old lady about Concubine Li, but I didn't expect that the old lady didn't invite me, but Xu Hui came instead.

"Why is only the eldest lady here today?" Jia Yuanchun asked after calming down.

"The old lady had already decided to meet with Concubine Nan'an today, but unexpectedly, the nobleman said that he missed his family and wanted to see them. The old lady was afraid that the nobleman might have something urgent, so she asked my concubine to come into the palace to have a look." Xu Hui sat down After stepping down, he said calmly, "I don't know what's the matter with the nobleman?"

"...It's just that I haven't seen the old lady for a long time, and I miss her very much." Jia Yuanchun hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know if the eldest lady has heard of the He family? The concubine Li of Fengzao Palace is born The He family, I'm not familiar with her yet, so I want to find out what she likes, so as not to make her unhappy."

Xu Hui had heard a little about how much favored Jia Yuanchun was when he was named Chang Zai at the beginning, and Xu Hui had heard a little bit about it. Later, he was named a nobleman, and there was a period of time when Jia Yuanchun was granted the title of nobleman.But gradually the emperor came to her less often, and Ji Changzai and others who were suppressed by her at the beginning didn't immediately hit the ground with sarcasm and irony.Jia Yuanchun's mentality is a little out of balance now, and Xu Hui always feels that Jia Yuanchun's inquiry about Concubine Li this time is not just for the sake of getting along well in the future.

"The He family used to replace the Li family as governor of the Northwest." Xu Hui only said some superficial things, "Before I heard that they had been stationed in Guangjiang, so there was little news from the capital. Not quite sure."

Jia Yuanchun pursed his lips and said, "Forget it then, I'll just observe and observe when we get to know each other well."

Xu Hui said in a flat tone: "Since that's the case, the concubine will leave first."

"Eldest lady, go slowly, hold the piano, and send the eldest lady out." Jia Yuanchun didn't stay long, and had nothing to say.

It was less than a quarter of an hour from Xu Hui's entry into Fengzao Palace to his exit, but Jia Yuanchun stared at the delicate patterns on the carpet with empty eyes.Apart from the old lady in the Jia family, there is almost no one who can help her. In this huge palace, without the help of her natal family, how can she protect herself and regain her own favor?

"Madam is back." Cui'er welcomed Xu Hui back into the house, and changed her into a wife's uniform while saying, "Just now Grandma Zhen from the Ningguo Mansion posted a post, saying that she would invite my wife and sister to enjoy the flowers at the mansion. Well. It is said that it took a lot of money to bring back a few pots of 'Green Clothes and Red Clothes' and 'Yaotai Yufeng'. I also want to take advantage of the crisp autumn season to boil wine and eat crabs. Aunt Min and Miss Lin will also go."

"That's fine." Xu Hui took off the pearl hairpin on her head, "Lian's daughter-in-law just gave birth, and asked the kitchen to stew chicken soup, so the oil on it must be skimmed off before sending it to her."

Mrs. Shen gave birth to another son for Jia Lian, who is still in confinement, so she must be careful in everything now.Xu Hui changed her clothes and went to see her little grandson, and saw that he had been sleeping in the crib, his face gradually got rid of the wrinkled appearance when he was born, and his cheeks were bulging, which made people really like it.After ordering the nurses to take care of her carefully, and asking Shen's health, she went back to her room.

The next morning, after harnessing the car, Xu Hui took Jia Wan to Ningguo Mansion.Speaking of which, she hasn't been to Ningguo Mansion for a long time, and the most recent time was when Jia Rong got married.Seeing a graceful, slender but charming woman standing beside Youshi, she is Jia Rong's daughter-in-law Qin Keqing.

"Why did I ask you to wait here, and you're not afraid of being exposed to the sun." Seeing Youshi and Qin Keqing walking up, Xu Hui said in a friendly manner, "Just ask a girl to come and greet her."

"It's just waiting at the second gate, it's okay." Youshi didn't say a word, and Qin Keqing took over all matters, "Snacks and hot tea are prepared inside, as well as Aunt Wan's favorite rose. Xianglu."

"Is my sister still here?" Xu Hui asked.

"It's already inside." Qin Keqing said gently, "I thought that my wife and Aunt Wan might not have breakfast yet, so I prepared some food for you first. I heard that my wife doesn't like sweet and greasy food, so I specially prepared abalone The bird's nest porridge and a few side dishes are still warming in the kitchen."

It has long been heard that Jia Rong, the daughter-in-law, is a good housekeeper inside and outside, but now it seems that this is really the case.The food prepared in the flower hall is prepared according to personal preferences. Xu Hui likes the light and delicious porridge and the side dishes that come with the porridge. The chicken soup noodles are for Lin Daiyu, and the snacks and rose dew are for Jia Wan. The pork dumplings are made for Jia Min.

"Your daughter-in-law is really careful. No wonder Brother Zhen praised you in front of our master." Xu Hui had already had breakfast before she came out, so she stopped eating after a few mouthfuls, and turned to smile at Youshi who was beside her. Said.To her surprise, although Youshi had a smile on his face, the smile didn't reach his eyes, it looked like a smirk.Xu Hui took another look at Qin Keqing while wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. Seeing that her expression was a little subtle, she was even more puzzled.

"Didn't you tell us to come and enjoy the flowers? Let's go out and have a look. I heard that some pots of precious chrysanthemums have been brought back?" Seeing that the two children hadn't eaten, Jia Min got up and said.Naturally, she also felt the strange atmosphere between Youshi and Qin Keqing. After looking at Xu Hui, she pressed questions first, and only talked about the purpose of coming to Ningguo Mansion today.

"Yes, I also specially bought the best rice wine and crabs with creamy fat and tender meat. I thought I should invite my wife and Aunt Min over for such good things in such a season, so I posted the post." You Shi Dao, "Originally there were people who invited the old lady to come to the house, but the old lady said that she doesn't like crabs, so she didn't come."

Speaking of the old lady, Xu Hui thought of Jia Xichun, she was also the serious master of the Ningguo Mansion, but neither You Shi nor Qin Keqing seemed to have forgotten her.Maybe it's because Jia Xichun is too young, and no one will play with her when she comes to the house, maybe it's because of other things, but after all, she is also Jia Zhen's sister and Jia Rong's aunt, so it's too heartless to ignore her all the time.

"At first I wanted to call my little aunt, but later I heard that she caught a cold a while ago and is still raising her, so she didn't dare to bother her." Qin Keqing added in a timely manner.

A few people came to the garden, and the garden has taken on a new look. Apart from a few pots of precious green clothes and red clothes and Yaotai jade phoenix, there are also many green and black chrysanthemums paved along the way. The flowers are very beautiful.Jia Wan held hands with Lin Daiyu and walked along the gravel road, saying that she would observe carefully and then draw the shape of the flower, and then embroider it on a handkerchief or a purse as a pattern.

Qin Keqing ordered someone to boil the wine and bring it up, saying: "The crabs are being cooked in the kitchen now, just wait a while. After the wine is boiled, it will have a strong aroma and full stamina, so you should not drink too much." Lin Daiyu gradually walked away, so she told the girl beside her to follow her and stop being bumped.

Xu Hui had a good meal this time, but she also clearly felt that her daughter and Daiyu had a strange expression after they came back from enjoying the flowers, so she decided to ask after returning home.

"Did you see anything in the East Mansion just now? I saw that you were always distracted, and Rong's daughter-in-law was evasive, but the people around her were not thoughtful?" After returning to Rongxi Hall, Xu Hui hugged her. Jia Wan asked softly, "After all, we are guests. The daughter-in-law Zhen and daughter-in-law Rong saw you just now, and they will think that they are not good at serving you."

"It's not that they don't serve you well, but..." Jia Wan bit her lip, hesitation and shame flashed across her face, and then she leaned into Xu Hui's ear and whispered, "Sister Lin and I were rewarding you in the East Mansion just now." Hua, I came to the rockery as I walked. I heard some girls say that Rong's daughter-in-law and Brother Zhen are not clear. They said that the reason why Rong'er doesn't like her daughter-in-law is because Rong's daughter-in-law
