Difficult for a son-in-law

Jiarui sat in front of the window and read a book facing the lamp. After a long time, her eyes were slightly astringent. She simply leaned on the chair and closed her eyes to rest her mind.The second uncle offended my grandfather again, and was whipped, and I don't know what happened.

Two personal maids, Cui Ming made the bed, and Bi Liu lightly changed the cold tea from Jia Rui's hand, took the foot stove on the ground, and added a few pieces of silver frost charcoal with a copper stick.

"Miss, Madam is here." The curtain slatted softly, Madam Ruan came in with a smile, pressed Jia Rui's shoulder, and said with a smile, "You don't need to be polite, just sit down."

Jia Rui got up and bowed, and called out, "Grandmother", then he put himself on the ermine chair, and helped Madam Ruan to sit.

Bi Liu moved another chair, and Cui Ming served warm tea.

Madam Ruan saw the books spread out on the table and said with a smile, "Reading books at night hurts your eyes. If you really want to read them, it would be good to light a few more candles."

Jia Rui responded softly.

Mrs. Ruan saw that the room was very clean, there were two blue and white amphoras on the desk, and a large number of books were stacked on the bookshelf next to the wall. The desk was also full of books and the four treasures of the study, and even the curtains were light blue with dark patterns.Jiarui was only wearing a semi-new lotus-colored rose quilted jacket with a light pink satin skirt. Looking at Jiarui's lowered eyebrows and his plain features, he was a blessed person, so he smiled and said, "I know you don't like it." These brightly colored ones are just for the daughter’s house in the boudoir, and it’s not good to be too plain. The clothes, skirts, jewelry, and silk flowers made for you, just take them out and dress them up.”

"Yes, my granddaughter knows."

"I'll send someone to bring you some antique toys in a while, and I can't refuse this time."

Madam Ruan felt that talking to Jiarui would always be like hitting a ball of cotton on a ball of cotton. It was the age of youthful flowers, but not half of the freshness of youth. Madam Ruan gave a few words of advice and got up to leave.

Jia Rui said softly, "It's getting dark outside, let the granddaughter give grandma a ride." He ordered the maids to take their cloaks and cloaks.

Mrs. Ruan stopped her and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm used to walking, there are women outside lighting lanterns."

Jiarui insisted on sending it off, but Madam Ruan smiled, "The next door is your little aunt's yard, I'm going to sit in her yard, don't worry."

Jiarui still sent Mrs. Ruan out of the gate, and ordered the eldest maid Cui Ming to follow her all the way to the courtyard of her little aunt Chensi, and watched them off until Mrs. Ruan and her party turned around the Chuihua Gate before turning back to the room.

Ruan Chensi lives in Xichun Courtyard.

Hearing that his mother was coming, he rose to greet her with a smile.

The warm air in the house is blowing, and all the furnishings reveal the delicacy of a lady in the boudoir. There is an azure beauty shrugging vase on the long table in front of the window. Inside the vase are several bright winter jasmine flowers, and the long flower branches drag all the way to On the table, a few fine broken flowers fell.

"Mother, it's getting late, so I just call my daughter over if I have something to do." Ruan Chensi smiled and helped her mother to sit on the bed, still complaining, "Although there are maids and mothers-in-law following behind, why is my daughter worried?"

Mrs. Ruan's heart warmed all of a sudden, she squeezed her daughter's hand, and said with a smile, "It's not too late, I went to Miss Rui's place, and I thought of you again. Do the clothes and jewelry I sent you fit? Do you like it?"

"It's all good." Ruan Chensi laughed crisply, pointed to the plum blossom tassel hairpin on her finger, and said with a smile, "Isn't this already on top, I'm afraid that mother will say that her daughter can't keep things anymore."

Madam Ruan gently stroked her daughter's back, and said with a smile, "I'll wear it for you if you beat her. What are you saving for it? We're not that small family. If we have a good one, we should save it for the New Year and go out to look decent."

Ruan Chensi laughed again, and asked, "I heard from Jin Li that my mother doesn't like to eat much these two days, but what's wrong? Do you want to invite the imperial doctor to take a look?"

"It's okay, I ate a few more yuan from the snacks that my mother gave me that day, it was a bit sweet, and it's all right now." Madam Ruan stroked her daughter's tender and juicy face, and said with pity, "In a few days, Princess Fu I want to enjoy the plum blossoms in the garden, so I posted a post for our family. I will take you there with Rui girl."

Ruan Chensi rolled his eyes, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I won't go. I don't know what mother's idea is. Even people whose daughters sit at home all day long know that Princess Zhennan is here, and the flower festival at Princess Fu's house , there is no reason not to invite Princess Zhennan. Mother is just taking Rui girl, what are you taking me to do?" Turning her face down and rubbing the silk in her hand, she said, "My daughter is not shameless, but the Emperor is not For this reason, my aunt is still in her boudoir, so I will talk to my niece first." At that moment, the circles of her eyes were slightly red and she shed tears, "Let others know, how should I talk about my daughter? Is there a serious illness, or is there something that I can't help It’s a place, or I’ll tell my niece to rush to the front..."

"My son, why are you talking about this?" Madam Ruan was so distressed that she hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe her daughter's tears, and sighed, "It's not your father's intention. Our family doesn't listen to your father's orders. Woolen cloth."

Ruan Chensi stomped her feet and cried, "Father, what does this mean? I am also my father's daughter. My father only puts Rui girl first in everything, and never thought about it for me. Mother is going to see the princess, just take Rui girl to go, and my daughter is gone." It's also not interesting. If someone else asks about her daughter, what should the mother say." After crying for a while, tears hung on her pink and tender face, and she said, "It's the mother herself, so what's the point? It turns out that Rui girl is a posthumous girl, who doesn't love her more than three points. These years, everything has to take precedence over her daughter. When dividing the courtyard, the father gave it to her without even asking her about such a big Tianyang courtyard. Rui girl. The monthly money of each courtyard is twice as much as that of her daughter. That is to say, each courtyard is divided into maids and mothers. In order not to lose people's tongue, the mother also let her choose first. Now my sister is a noble concubine in the palace, and my sister has been planning for me for a long time If my father says a word, I will also give it up to girl Rui. I don’t have the face to go out and meet people.”

Madam Ruan also shed tears, holding her daughter and weeping, "My son, why didn't you tell me earlier, I only see you happy every day, but I don't know that your heart is soaked in yellow lotus water. .”

"It's nothing more than making my mother sad." Ruan Chensi wiped away her tears and choked up, "Now that my brother ordered Tanhuaer, my mother has to think about my brother's important affairs. It can't be that her uncle is not married yet, and her niece leaves the court first. Bar."

Mrs. Ruan comforted her daughter a bit before leaving with a heart full of sorrow.

Going back to the room, I had to talk to Marquis Beiwei, "Hongyan has achieved fame, and Chensi has reached the age. They are one uncle and one aunt, so it is not easy to fall behind Rui girl. Hongyan is okay to say, I am also a girl from the imperial capital." I have seen a lot, and I already have points in my heart, not to mention the Tanhuaer he just ordered, who would not think highly of his son. It is a big matter for Chensi, does the master have an idea?"

Seeing his wife's eye circles were reddish, Bei Weihou knew that she had been crying, and sighed, "Now that my daughter is a noble concubine in the palace and has a prince, it's time for our family to keep a low profile. Unexpected blessing, Chensi's marriage..."

Marquis Beiwei paused, Madam Ruan's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, "After all, she is the imperial concubine's direct sister, she's too poor, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the empress."

"Let me see again."

Madam Ruan's heart sank even more.

Princess Wei has a very busy schedule every day. First, she took Mingzhan and Mingqi to the Yongning Hou Mansion to pay her father's greetings.There is also the matter of Mingyan bringing her son and husband back to the province.

Mingyan already has a son, and now she is pregnant with Liujia.The face is slightly rounder than before, and the stomach is supported, and the corners of the brows and eyes reveal a touch of joy.

The sisters chatted and laughed for a while, Princess Wei sent them out, took Mingyan's hand and sat beside her, asking some private matters.She smiled, "In your letter with me, you only mentioned comfortable things. Now I ask you, how are you doing?"

"Mother, my daughter is indeed doing well." Mingyan glanced at her son who was running around on the ground, and smiled slightly, "My mother-in-law at home treats me very well, and Master Hou is also good."

Princess Wei nodded her head, seeing that the two maids cooking wine and tea came to serve her, she asked with a smile, "How about dividing flowers and blowing willows?"

"My daughter thinks that they are older, and they have been with her since childhood, so it's not good to delay their flowering period. They are all married, and now they are still helping me, and they are the daughter-in-law in charge."

Princess Wei said, "That's good." She understands Mingyan's temperament very well, if the son-in-law is willing to accept her, he must choose from the accompanying room, firstly, it is easy to handle, and secondly, it will save trouble. "Your mother-in-law's temperament is so good and understandable, my uncle knows the ceremony, this is your blessing."

Mingyan smiled. She is really comfortable now. Thinking of Ming Zhan, she couldn't help asking with concern, "Mother, what's the matter with Ming Zhan's voice? I only heard a letter in the imperial capital, which means that Zhan can speak suddenly. How many doctors did he invite and drink for several years when he was a child, why did he suddenly speak now?"

"Maybe it's a bodhisattva's manifestation." Princess Wei said, "Suddenly I had a dream. I dreamed that a strange treasure fell in Ming Zhan's courtyard. The brilliance was dazzling. Unexpectedly, he opened his mouth the next day. It may be that there are gods and Buddhas." Bless you. Your father even specially rewarded Hongming Temple."

"It's the joy of joy." Ming Yan didn't ask any more questions, Ming Zhan was crowned heir, and Ming Yan was also very happy for Princess Wei and Ming Zhan. She and Ming Zhan had a very good relationship, and Ming Zhan spent everything on her marriage. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of situation she is in now.Mingyan said affirmatively again, "This is the blessing of the fourth brother and mother."

Princess Wei's face was not particularly happy, she patted Mingyan's hand and said, "Although you married into the Hou family, fortunately there are fewer people in the family, and your mother-in-law is sensible. There are no naughty uncles or sister-in-laws, and no sister-in-laws. I'm a handicap, as long as you take good care of your mother-in-law and uncle, life will be very comfortable. It's a rare blessing for a woman to be relaxed and leisurely, Mingyan."

Mingyan thought about her father's concubines, she understood her mother's painstaking efforts, she couldn't help leaning on her mother's shoulder, and said softly, "Mother, when the fourth brother gets married, you will have a helper, and mother will enjoy a few years of happiness. "

Princess Wei said, "I was going to ask you about it, but do you know the eldest girl from the Ruan family, Marquis of Beiwei?"

Ming Yan married into the Marquis Mansion as a princess, and she also has a princess mother-in-law. Now she has been married for more than five years. There are quite a few ladies in the imperial capital who know a lot. Thinking about it, Fang nodded and said, "Speaking of it The Ruan family now has two girls, one is the youngest daughter of the wife of the Marquis of Beiwei, the younger sister of Concubine Ruan in the palace. which one?"

Princess Wei didn't hide anything from her, and said with a slight smile, "I've met these two girls every time I want, what do you think of them?"

"In terms of appearance, the daughter of the Marquis of Beiwei is slightly better, with a lively temper and loves to joke. Personality, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Beiwei is more stable. That girl is generous and considerate, but the same, with an ordinary appearance." Mingyan said It is quite objective, presumably to choose the princess for Ming Zhan.

"There's no rush, I'll see you in a few days."

Mingyan smiled and said, "Whenever, mother will call me."

"Concubine Fu's Flower Fair must have posted for you."

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
