Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Not long after, the guests left one after another and went home. Mrs. Feng left Mrs. Wang until the end, and said what Mrs. Liu had said.

Mrs. Wang was startled when she heard this, pondered for a moment, and said: "Although the third girl is raised under my knees, she still has to ask our master what he thinks. Madam allows me to go back and discuss it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Feng smiled and said: "This is what it should be. I am also helping to pass on a message. Whether it should be all depends on the meaning of the family."

Mrs. Wang agreed, said something again, and got up to leave.

Mrs. Feng led the crowd to the second gate, watched as they got into the sedan chair and left.

Let's say that after Mrs. Wang got home, the Tanchun sisters went back to their rooms to freshen up.

At this time, Jia Zheng was also out to socialize. Before he came back, Mrs. Wang had no time to wash up, so she went to Jia Mu's room to pay her respects, and told Jia Mu what Mrs. Feng said today.

At that time, Li Wan and Sister Feng were also on the side. After hearing this, she suddenly felt that it touched her heart. She was worried about Tanchun's life before, but she didn't expect to have good news when she went out today.

Mother Jia was also very surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Where is this Mrs. General Liu's house? I haven't been out and about in these years, and I don't know much about the imperial wives in Beijing."

Mrs. Wang said: "This General Liu was originally from the family of Tianjin Prefecture. His ancestors were from the army. He made his fortune in the generation of the old man of the Liu family. He had three sons. General Liu was the head of the family. He also joined the army since he was a child. The bandit has made great achievements and was promoted to a third-rank guerrilla general, but Mrs. Liu is from a scholarly family, but she fell down because of bad things a few years ago."

After hearing this, Jia Mu pondered for a moment, then said: "The family status is a bit poor, but I wonder what brother Liu looks like? If he is a good one, it doesn't matter if he has a poor family status. I just wonder how old is this brother Liu? How is the product?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Madam Feng told me just now that the brother of the Liu family was originally a son of the second wife. The second master of the Liu family was a co-prefect in Suizhou. His wife died of illness the year before last. The brother of the Liu family has been studying at home for the past three years. The most important thing is to be loyal, because General Liu has no sons, so he has decided that Mr. Liu will have two wives in the future, and live with the big one. Although he is not his own son, he is no different from his own."

Sister Feng had always felt that the Liu family was a little familiar before, and when she heard this, she suddenly said: "I know his family. I met Mrs. Liu when I went to Jinxiang Hou's residence for a banquet last year. She is a kind person. There is one more thing. I'm afraid the old lady and wife don't know, but the Liu family also has a girl in the palace."

Everyone was startled when they heard this, Li Wan couldn't help but said: "

Where did you hear this from? "

Sister Feng said: "I heard from my mother earlier that the experience of this girl from the Liu family is somewhat similar to that of our mother. She was originally the daughter of the third wife. For Concubine Li."

Although Concubine Li's family background is not obvious, but because of her good nature and delicate temperament, she is quite popular nowadays.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this, and said: "This Mrs. Feng never said it. If so, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Jia Mu glanced at her when she heard the words, and said, "What's the matter? There are countless concubines in the palace, and the Holy Majesty doesn't care about these trivial matters. Besides, it's not a taboo thing for us to get married in an open and honest manner. According to me, it's a good thing. If you can As in-laws, the empress also has multiple arms in the palace."

In the past few years, Emperor Qingde preferred those young concubines, most of whom were not high-ranking and had no influence behind them, so he was at ease pampering them.

Although Yuanchun was born with a good color, after all, he is over thirty years old, and he has a dignified and stable temperament, which is not as good as those new concubines who are young, tender, and likable. In the past two years, the favor has faded, and Emperor Qingde Even going to Fengzao Palace is just a sit-down, rarely staying overnight.

If he can make friends with Concubine Li, Yuan Chun will also get two points of attention in front of Emperor Qingde.

Mrs. Wang thought about it for a moment after hearing this, and she felt that it made sense, she hurriedly smiled and said: "I think I'm going to go left, but let the old lady make the decision."

Only then did Jia Mu say with satisfaction: "Since that's the case, wait for your master to come back later and ask him what he means. If there is no objection, then reply to him earlier."

Mrs. Wang agreed, and said with a smile: "The old lady has already agreed, and there is nothing wrong with the master if you want to come."

Li Wan frowned slightly when she heard the words, but she didn't say anything. Although she felt that it was a bit too hasty to make a marriage without even asking about Tanchun's intentions, but the rules of this era are like this, and they pay attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. , There is no need to ask the opinions of the parties at all.

In the evening, when Jia Zheng came back, Mrs. Wang talked about the Liu family's courtship, and mentioned Jia's mother's meaning.

Jia Zheng then ordered Jia Lian to go out to inquire about it. It happened that Jia Lian had met Mr. Liu when he was at a banquet in another house. He remembered that he was very handsome and a polite scholar. Then they told Jia Zheng.

Jia Zhengsu loves scholars. He heard that this young master of the Liu family did not imitate his father, but studied since he was a child. They are descendants of the family, but Tanchun is a concubine. It is said that both of them have good personalities and family fortunes.

It's quite suitable, and even Jia's mother agreed, so she agreed immediately.

Li Wan was worried after all, so he also asked Jia Lan to inquire about it. After learning that the young master of the Liu family was handsome and gentle, he loved reading and had no bad habits. Tanchun.

Tanchun had been uneasy when she learned about the Liu family's marriage proposal earlier. It was not until Li Wan told her about the Liu family's young master that he finally settled down. He heard that the other party was also able to read and write in childhood. Very satisfied.

Three days later, Mrs. Wang replied to Mrs. Feng, agreeing to the marriage.

Mrs. Liu was overjoyed when she got the news, she wished she could make a marriage right away, but Liu Shang had more than a month before her filial piety, and it was not appropriate to make it public, so the two families made an agreement in private and kept it secret from the public for the time being. The son will formally get engaged after his filial piety next month.

Mrs. Liu took a pair of red gold bead-embedded double-connected ruyi hairpins, and a pair of concentric lotuses with two pedicles worn on pearls and eight treasures, and made these two pairs final.Mrs. Wang also returned a sixty-year-old pendant made of suet jade and a Fulu Changsheng of red Han jade, and handed these two pieces to Mrs. Liu for a decision.

When Tanchun learned that the marriage was settled, he was happy and ashamed, but he couldn't help secretly imagining what kind of person his future husband would be. With Daiyu and Yingchun's marriage in harmony, Tanchun also hoped that he could meet a A wishful man with a shared heart.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, and Liu Shangxiao was dismissed. Mrs. Liu discussed with General Liu and planned to go to Rongfu to formally propose marriage on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

One day, Mrs. Liu was busy buying gifts for the lottery. Suddenly, someone came back and said that the old lady and the third wife had returned to Beijing and had already entered the gate of the mansion.

Mrs. Liu was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the maid: "Send someone to tell the master!" while hurriedly going to the second door to meet her.

Just after leaving the gate of the hospital, I saw a group of maids and women coming in, surrounded by Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Qian, the third wife, was holding her hand.

Mrs. Liu hurried forward to salute An, and said with a smile, "Why didn't the old lady send someone to tell you when she came back, so that my master and I could pick you up earlier." With a snort, he ignored it, and walked away holding Qian's hand.

Mrs. Liu might as well. The old lady had a seizure suddenly, and stood there in a daze for a while, her face was red and white.

Seeing this, everyone on the side quickly lowered their heads.

Here Mrs. Liu took two steps, then stopped suddenly, and winked at her young daughter-in-law.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qian understood, and hurriedly said loudly: "Sister-in-law, the old lady has been running all the way, and she is going to take a rest now, but there is a clean

Is there a house? "

Mrs. Liu felt her heart pounding when she heard this, she felt more and more that the old lady was not doing well, so she had to suppress her emotions and said: "I will order someone to clean up the Chunhui Courtyard, the old lady can go to the room to rest first."

Only then did Mrs. Liu glance at her, and she agreed with a snort.

When I came to the upper room, Mrs. Liu helped Mrs. Liu to sit down, and at the same time ordered the servant girl to serve tea, but she couldn't understand why the old lady had lived with her young son in her hometown all these years, why she suddenly ran over , Haven't given her such a face all the time?

Except when she knew that she was injured and unable to bear children, the old lady had never had such a dark face.

Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea slowly, and seeing her eldest daughter-in-law standing aside with a respectful face, she calmed down a bit, and said calmly, "I heard that you appointed Shang Er as the third girl of Rongguo Mansion, is it true?"

Mrs. Liu was startled, and she had a bad premonition in her heart, she hurriedly laughed and said, "The old lady came here for this matter? She was about to tell the old lady that she was indeed the third girl from Rongfu. Peugeot, sharp-natured, and about the same age, she is a perfect match for Shang Er."

Mrs. Liu changed color when she heard this, smashed the tea bowl with a bang, and cursed: "I think you are delusional, you know that girl is a concubine, but you still tell Shang'er! My eldest grandson is a good-looking person!" Top-notch, and the uncle of the dynasty, what kind of girl from a good family is not good enough? Why do you want to marry a young woman?"

Mrs. Liu was shocked and angry when she heard the words, but she had to endure the difference and said: "Don't be angry, old lady. Although the third girl is a concubine, she was raised under the knees of her aunt since she was a child. She is also knowledgeable in books and etiquette. She is really a rare good girl... ..." Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted, and the old lady Liu said impatiently: "Don't tell me these things, I don't care what she looks like, as long as she has this one!"
