The prince of buns

When Qi Mu'an heard the news, he almost woke up laughing under the covers. At this time, Jian Yunchen also understood the meaning that he wanted to mention to the queen a princess who was born noble and widowed in middle age.

It turned out that he was looking for a new mother for himself!

It is true that according to Wei Guogong's age and status, it is impossible for a young noble lady to fill in his house, but one of his two wives is the second-generation official and the second-generation rich. If the third one is too inconspicuous, then It can't play the role of suppressing Mrs. Ruan at all.

Even if Mrs. Ruan became a concubine, it would still be a concubine with two sons and a daughter, and a foundation of more than ten years as a housekeeper. If the new wife of the country does not have two brushes, then she will be a vase.

But thinking about counting Princess Jiahe in this way, Jian Yunchen always felt a little uncomfortable.

"You said that the chief of the county is married unsatisfactorily, isn't it all our fault?"

Qi Mu'an crossed his legs and looked like a rascal, "Are you stupid to be a princess? She is a widow and unemployed woman with no children. She spends so much time trying to flatter her mother. Don't you want to find a reliable family to remarry and enjoy your old age comfortably?" Besides, the empress is your aunt, you know her better than I do, and the princess is in her favor, so before she makes a decision, she naturally has to ask her if she doesn't like it, if the princess refuses, will she force her?"

What Jian Yunchen said made Jian Yunchen think deeply, reasoning that in this world, life for a single woman is really difficult, not to mention the decline of the husband's family of Jiahe County, and the line of her mother's family was in decline as early as her father's generation. Didn't the club match her with a declining husband's family from the very beginning?

Now that neither side can rely on it, the best hope is indeed that the queen can make the decision for her.

But it's all Qi Mu'an's rhetoric, after all, this guy is selfish.

"Did you already know that the Queen will not promise your father to divorce his wife, but let her be a child?"

Qi Mu'an moved the corners of his lips noncommittally. He had indeed calculated this, but he was not very sure.

Speaking of Mrs. Ruan, the Empress disliked her very much, and dealing with someone who disliked her slowly would be worse than smearing her neck with a knife.

In fact, he was using his own thinking to figure out what the queen was thinking, so he couldn't be sure, but even if the royal family agreed to Wei Guogong's divorce, it would not be bad for him, but it was not as enjoyable as it is now.

Of course, the queen's decision is definitely what he hopes most from the bottom of his heart, because Qi Muwen will no longer have the ability to compete with him for the title.

His mother has changed from wife to aunt, and he has also changed from a legitimate son to a concubine. From now on, Qi Mu'an will no longer be the eldest son of Wei Guogong's mansion, but the only legitimate son.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Princess Jiahe will give birth again when she is nearly forty, but the child is too young, and it is almost enough to rely on his elder brother to take care of her a lot, so how can it pose any threat.

He didn't mention this in front of Jian Yunchen. For some reason, he didn't want to reveal too much in front of Jian Yunchen that there was actually a slightly dark and calculating self that existed.

Sure enough, Princess Jiahe is really a smart person, Qi Muan was the only one who gave gifts to the children in the family the next day, and Qi Muan's attitude was also very different.

In fact, Qi Mu'an understands her thoughts. After marrying into the Qi Mansion, the only thing she can rely on is her status as the princess. Therefore, to respect the deceased Fuhe and value Fuhe's only son is to love and value her own status as the princess. , so that others will respect her more.

Furthermore, although she is six or seven years older than Mrs. Ruan, after all, she has been pampered and well-maintained all her life. She is not bad in appearance and manner, and she is only more generous and open-minded in her actions, even if she is not as talented as Mrs. Ruan. Money, but she doesn't have children to worry about, so what's the difficulty in spending more to decorate the front and win people's hearts?

In addition, the Princess Jiahe herself has some land as a dowry, and the queen also rewarded her with a lot of money and land. People can't help but laugh at the behind-the-scenes discussions. Not to mention, you can make a small fortune every time.

Leaving aside the gossip outside, Mr. Qi is very happy and satisfied with his third wife, whose appearance, background and temperament are pretty good.

To be honest, he has gone through the usual chaos, and now the only hope in his heart is to quickly get the family's life back on track, so that they can live a decent life like before.

I don't know if the Queen intends to make Mrs. Ruan have a bad life, or if she really treats Princess Jiahe well. Apart from a few big maids and a few companions around her, she also rewarded two young court ladies and a senior The old lady-in-waiting stood beside her.

As for the maids and mothers who served Mrs. Ruan in the past, except for the companions brought by the Ruan family, they were sent to Mrs. Ruan's room. No, she should be called Aunt Ruan from now on. Continue to use it for Jiahe in the upper room.

Which of the servants in these high-ranking families is not a snobbish, wealthy man?

Seeing that Mrs. Ruan's situation is gone, the new master is backed by the queen, his position is stable and he is easy to serve, so why not rush to curry favor!

Whoever wants to embarrass the new master on this again, it would really be too long.

Princess Jiahe's place is praised by people and it is lively and lively every day, but the life of the Ruan family is not so easy.

First of all, the new wife almost killed her on the first day of entry. It wasn't that people made things difficult for her, but that she couldn't get over that hurdle in her face and heart.

For what?

It turned out that the new wife came over, and logically, if there were already other people in the family, they would come to kowtow and offer tea to the new wife to show their obedience and restraint.

Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhou are nothing, they are the young wives who entered the door, what is the difference between kowtow to the new wife and kowtow to Mrs. Ruan?

However, Ruan felt wronged. She was the housewife who was brought in by eight palanquins, but now she wants to kowtow to others, and in front of so many servants and children whom she personally taught, call her How can I get rid of this face.

On the day of meeting with the new wife, Qi Muan and Jian Yunchen also arrived early. Princess Jiahe watched with a smile as Qi Muan kowtowed and corrected his words, and said with a smile that Princess Fuhe was several years older than her at the time. In the palace, there are not many opportunities to get close.

When it was Jian Yunchen's turn, she didn't ask him to kneel down, and she ordered Mother Bian beside him to hold him up early, and she was equally amiable, "Filial piety is not about it, you will get what you want, now let's take care of yourself .”

When Qi Muwen, Mu He, Song Ya, and Song Xian came to see the ceremony, she was also smiling, or said hello, or gave a few instructions. The attitude is the same.

This is also in line with Master Qi's intention to prosper the family, so he couldn't help but look at her with a smile on his face.

Of course he is happy to be able to pass the exam at a young age, but Ruan is suffering, full of jealousy and grievances, and has no place to let go, watching his children, including the youngest son, also called a nanny Come here and call others mother, kowtow to others, and feel so angry in my heart!

Looking at Qi Mu'an's smiling face, I don't need to elaborate.

But at this time, more than two months have passed since the last riot in the Nian Mansion, no matter how much she hated her, she would not rush up and pinch and bite Qi Mu'an regardless.

The young masters completed the meeting ceremony one by one, and then the aunts came.

Songya and Qi Muwen both looked at their mother-in-law worriedly. In fact, since receiving the imperial decree, the house has been preparing for the wedding every day, and they are slowly accepting this cruel fact in their hearts day by day.

Now that it's done, the two of them are reluctant and have no other thoughts. They are just worried that the Ruan family will make things difficult for them in the end. You must know that it is precisely because the wedding is approaching that Master Qi is in a better mood. Ken lifted her grounding order.

Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhou went up to kowtow together, and Princess Jiahe also rewarded them kindly, and it was Ruan's turn after that, but she still stood still in the crowd with a sullen face.

Master Qi's face is about to turn from sunny to cloudy!

At this time, Qi Muwen had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to play haha, "Since everyone in the family has met, let's break up earlier. Mom and Dad were busy all day yesterday, and I'm afraid they have bothered so many of us."

Song Ya followed suit and laughed, Master Qi neither approved nor opposed, it seemed that he meant to hand over the decision-making power to the new wife.

As expected, Princess Jiahe was born as a noble girl, so she still has a bit of bearing. She said that the little wife is the little wife, and her status has already been determined, so why should I do anything unnecessary to force you in front of everyone?

Instead, he got a notorious reputation for being unvirtuous.

This Duke of Wei's mansion is bustling and bustling, Duke of Wei is still in his prime, and he is not a bad person. She is determined to live a prosperous life and never go back to the lonely and deserted time before.

So it's just a side room, she really doesn't need to make things difficult for her.

So he pretended not to understand and nodded in agreement, and told Qi Mu'an to take good care of Jian Yunchen, and just come home to ask for whatever is missing.

Qi Mu'an quickly stood up and agreed again and again, he couldn't help admiring secretly in his heart, Master Qi didn't know the blessings that he had cultivated in that generation, this new lady is indeed a magnanimous person, and I'm afraid she also has some tricks, only Master Qi's mind doesn't know what to do. There are not many gullies, and I'm afraid she will subdue them in a short time.

For a large family with a large population, it is more important than anything else to have a shrewd and tactful hostess.

Therefore, Ruan Shi tossed and turned all night last night, and today he went back and forth in his heart and couldn't get through the whole morning. In the end, he was dismissed by someone lightly saying, "It's hard work, everyone, let's go." Relaxed, but became more and more uncomfortable as if he was holding his breath and couldn't get out. When he returned to the house, he threw plates and bowls to vent his anger.

To say that she was able to raise Qi Mu'an in a crooked manner and not fall into the shoes of others, she was a bit of a city man, but unfortunately the shedding phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and being beaten into a poor alley by others, the more panicked she is, the more she acts. No way.

On the contrary, Princess Jiahe took it easy, and waited for everyone to disperse before taking out the last purse that was going to be rewarded to the Ruan family and handing it to Xi'er, the eldest maid next to her, and wrote lightly: "It seems that the second master's aunt has never shown up today. , Later, you ask someone to send the gift to her. After all, you have raised three good children for the master. Don’t lose her. Be respectful to Ruan, after all, she is different from others. "

Naturally, this was said in front of Master Qi, and it made Master Qi feel very comfortable like a spring breeze in his heart.

Look at people!What is demeanor!What is a heart!

It seemed that the good days were really coming, so he respected the new wife even more, and handed over everything in the house to her early on.

It is said that the season has already entered the summer, the Xu family who had engaged with Songya at the beginning has already said that the daughter-in-law of Yifang family is of good character, and the son of the Nian family is also a blessing in disguise. good family.

The two families were happy, especially as Qi Songya, the eldest lady of the Qi family, was so lonely and pitiful.

Seeing this, Princess Jiahe tried her best to tell her about a marriage. The other party is the youngest son of Mr. Sun, the judge of the imperial hospital. He is only one year older than Song Ya. It is said that his character and knowledge are good.

Mr. Qi is very satisfied with this marriage. Although the child has no reputation, and his father is only a fifth-rank medical officer, he is not worthy of his first-class Wei Guogong's eldest daughter. After retiring two times, her mother made such a messy statement, if it weren't for Jiahe's help, she might still look down on Songya.

It was Song Ya herself, although she didn't say it on her lips, she was still willing in her heart.

I am seventeen this year, not to mention others, how can there be any famous sons similar to her age who have married?I know my own affairs, do I really want to become an old girl to fill people's houses?

Or after staying at home for a long time, she gradually became a laughing stock, and was sent to the nunnery as an aunt by her cruel father who didn't have much love for father and daughter?

After thinking about it, I felt so grateful to Jiahe as a stepmother, and even embroidered a delicate and vivid purse as a gift.

Jiahe has no children himself, and the children of Qi's family are all kind and kind, and they like Songya's things very much, so they exaggerate how well-behaved and virtuous their daughter is when they meet everyone, Ruan Shiwo listens to it and is full of anger , the good child that I have worked so hard to cultivate, is now making wedding clothes for others, and has become her daughter!

So they quietly sent someone to call Song Ya to his room to chatter.

"What is the Sun family? Three generations of their family have been illiterate mud-legged people in the mountains. They finally confessed to a son who was a student, and it took more than 20 years of hard work to become a fifth-rank official! I heard that Mr. Sun's My wife is a village woman who can't read a whole bunch of characters! My son has been pampered since childhood, how can I go to such a family to suffer the most, and be a daughter-in-law for such a stupid woman!
