Hua Zhuo had been waiting in the east wing for a long time, and he sighed in his heart. It seemed that Aunt Zhuang had nothing to do with Mrs. Zhuang. Today was indeed a waste of time. Unexpectedly, at the end, Sister-in-law He came over and said, Mrs. Zhuang invited her. The past made her unable to react for a moment, and she sat there without moving.
Hua Zhuo nodded, knowing that he could pay a visit to Mrs. Zhuang today because he had accepted the favor from Aunt Zhuang. He couldn't ask for too much, as the days ahead were long.
In fact, this position in the Hanlin Academy is the same as the clerk's pen post type. They are all doing copying and writing work, but the rank is higher. It is a serious seventh-rank position. The most important thing is that Zeng Wanping doesn't like to show off. As for official prestige, the official position of the Hanlin Academy Registrar is not high, but after all, after entering the Hanlin Academy, you are the person in front of the emperor. How can it be like in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, no matter who you go out, you have to call the Master Zeng, even if you look down on it in your heart , you have to be polite on the surface, it can fully satisfy Zeng Wanping's preference for authority, and the copying and writing work is easy and simple, and you are not afraid of him getting into any trouble. At most, he will write a few words wrong and lose a few. An insignificant file, and an important file cannot be managed by a small chief clerk, so it is not a big deal.
This was exactly what Auntie Zhengluozhuang wanted, so she hurriedly said: "I was planning to stay here for a longer period of time. In half a year, your eldest brother-in-law will go to Beijing to report on his work. The family has agreed that I will just wait for him in Beijing." , there is no need to go back, wait until we find a good job, and then we can go together. My sister-in-law can just come when she wants to come. My sisters are not here, and I feel bored. It can relieve my boredom if I have my sister-in-law with me. "
"Auntie take good care of yourself and my niece won't disturb her."
Although he is not very capable, he is a good person. Although he likes to show off his official power, he has never heard of anyone disturbing and bullying the people. Most of his official power is directed at the officials in the government office. After having a basic impression of this eldest brother-in-law, Hua Zhuo mentioned this matter to his father Hua Xu.
When she spoke, she just stared at Hua Zhuo, the deep meaning in her eyes clearly revealed.
Hua Xu glared and reprimanded Hua Zhuo until he came out in disgrace. But as soon as he turned around, he ordered someone to investigate this prospective relative. Later, he found a suitable opportunity and took advantage of the emperor's happiness to mention The Hanlin Academy lacked a master register to organize and archive the records. The emperor knew this well, so he asked him to recommend individuals. Hua Xu also promoted virtuous people and did not avoid relatives. Zeng Wanping is not the material to be the chief official, and he is not willing to be the assistant officer. Mr. Zhuang, the father-in-law, is not willing to support this eldest son-in-law. It can be seen that Zeng Wanping is not the material to do practical things, and Hua Xu will not give it to him. Find trouble for yourself and help him find some lucrative position.
"Miss, don't keep the eldest lady waiting..." Qiqiao reminded her in her ear.
"What are you talking about, aunt? It's me who should thank you." Hua Zhuo laughed, took the post from Qiqiao's hand, and said: "In more than two months, it will be my hairpin gift. Today I wanted to invite you The eldest lady appreciates the gift, but I don’t want the eldest lady to be unwell, so I don’t want to disturb you too much, so I asked my aunt to accept this post. If the eldest lady’s health does not get better by that day, I hope that my aunt can come.”
How could Mrs. Fang fail to consider that Mrs. Zhuang would not come to watch the ceremony? Her daughter's face would not look good, but she was just too lazy to look at Mrs. Zhuang's face. She couldn't invite the nominal mother-in-law, but she could always invite the real mother-in-law. , so a letter has been sent to Nanping County. It’s just that Hua Zhuo is determined to get in trouble with Madam Zhuang. It’s okay if she can’t invite her. But if she is invited, how to deal with the relationship between the two mothers-in-law will probably give her a headache for a while, so Mrs. Fang said this, In fact, I hope Hua Zhuo will give up the idea of inviting Mrs. Zhuang.
Of course, it was already half a year later that this matter was completed. At that time, Zeng Wanping came to Beijing to report on his work. Although he was not able to find a good job, he was very sorry, but when he took office as a new official, everyone was polite. Calling him Chief Master Zeng, even the officials one level higher than him and two levels above him were the same. They immediately felt satisfied and satisfied, as if they could achieve this level of officialdom, this life would be enough.
Although Mrs. Zhuang's attitude towards her was still indifferent, it was much better than before when she was not even willing to look at her. Hua Zhuo knew that Aunt Zhuang must have said a lot of good things to her, so she had some With the idea of reciprocating a favor, I asked my eldest brother-in-law Zeng Wanping some more questions while chatting with my aunt Zhuang. I was afraid that just listening to one family's words would be biased, so I asked my second cousin Hua Huan to help me find out.
Only then did Hua Zhuo come to his senses. He quickly straightened his skirt which was slightly wrinkled due to sitting for a long time. He smiled at Mrs. He and said, "Please lead the way."
Aunt Zhuang was a little embarrassed. She helped Hua Zhuo up and said, "Mother is not feeling well? She has low energy. My sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart."

Hua Zhuo kept her word. In the following days, in addition to helping her mother manage the housework at home, she also gave some advice on how to deal with the recovered properties. She also ran to the Zhuang Mansion, although not every day. However, he had to go there every two or three days on average, and by the way, he also sent some medicinal materials for health care. With Aunt Zhuang here, he would not be ignored. After going there three or five times, he was able to see Mrs. Zhuang once. And I can still say two sentences.
Sister-in-law He led the way, and Hua Zhuo followed, but she felt a little happy and surprised in her heart. She felt that this time she had really found a way to get along with Mrs. Zhuang. No matter how hard-hearted Mrs. Zhuang was, her daughter was always her weakness. , As long as she gets along well with Aunt Zhuang and the sixth aunt she has never met, and they mediate, there is no fear that Mrs. Zhuang will not accept her as her daughter-in-law.
Aunt Zhuang also came out and secretly observed Hua Zhuo's face. Seeing that she was not hesitant because of the cold treatment, she really liked this sister-in-law a little bit. The daughter of a wealthy family is really knowledgeable and broad-minded. , even if it is not for her husband's official position, she should still help her sister-in-law get along with her mother. After all, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not at peace, and the family home is difficult to live in. Although she is a married daughter, she also hopes that her natal family can be in harmony. Besides, the sister-in-law's family background is obviously higher than that of the banker, and her father-in-law is favored by the Holy Family. If there is a dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I'm afraid the person who will suffer the loss will not be the sister-in-law.

She exited the main room very wisely. Some things should be done step by step and not be done in a day.

But after entering the main room, Hua Zhuo realized that he was still too optimistic. Mrs. Zhuang was leaning on the bed, facing inward, and allowed her to salute and greet her, but said nothing and was not even willing to look at her. .

Hua Zhuo naturally knew that Mrs. Fang felt sorry for her. He thought that Madam Zhuang must also feel sorry for her daughter just as much as Mrs. Fang felt sorry for her. He immediately felt confident in his heart and said with a smile: "Mom, just leave this matter alone." Now, can you let your daughter handle it on her own?"
Hua Zhuo then asked: "I wonder how long my aunt will live in Beijing? I want to get closer to my aunt, but I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity."
There are two meanings in these words. One is that she hopes Aunt Zhuang can persuade Mrs. Zhuang to attend her haircut ceremony. The other is that if she can't persuade her, she also hopes that Aunt Zhuang can come on Mrs. Zhuang's behalf.

Thinking of this, Aunt Zhuang's expression towards Hua Zhuo became softer and kinder, and she apologized: "I'm really rude today."
Both of these meanings were not subtle. Aunt Zhuang could certainly hear it and said with a smile: "This is a big event, congratulations to my sister-in-law." As she said this, she put away the invitation, obviously agreeing to Hua Zhuo's request.
Aunt Zhuang was a little embarrassed. She helped Hua Zhuo up and said, "Mother is not feeling well? She has low energy. My sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart."
Hua Zhuo had been waiting in the east wing for a long time, and he sighed in his heart. It seemed that Aunt Zhuang had nothing to do with Mrs. Zhuang. Today was indeed a waste of time.

Mrs. Fang could only smile helplessly. The life after marriage was for her daughter to live by herself. Although she was the biological mother, she couldn't interfere too much. She could only give a few words. What should be done was up to her daughter. make a decision.

Hua Zhuo then asked: "I wonder how long my aunt will live in Beijing? I want to get closer to my aunt, but I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity."
"You... well, just do it if you want to. If you don't hit a few nails, you won't know what pain is." Fang shook her head, hesitated, and finally said her original plan, "I I originally wanted to invite Mrs. Zhuang Er here, and I have already sent her a letter. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely come. If you cause trouble again, you should think about it yourself."
Hua Zhuo then asked: "I wonder how long my aunt will live in Beijing? I want to get closer to my aunt, but I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity."

Of course, this is all for later. The problem facing Hua Zhuo now is how to deal with the relationship between the two would-be "mother-in-laws" during the hairpin ceremony. At this time, there were only three days left before her hair-raising ceremony. Mrs. Zhuang was persuaded by her aunt Zhuang and agreed to come to watch the ceremony. And Mrs. Zhuang's second wife, Wei Shi, also rushed to the capital, not only bringing Zhuang Jing, but also even Du Wan also came, but Hua Zhuo was overjoyed.

"What are you talking about, aunt? It's me who should thank you." Hua Zhuo laughed, took the post from Qiqiao's hand, and said: "In more than two months, it will be my hairpin gift. Today I wanted to invite you The eldest lady appreciates the gift, but I don’t want the eldest lady to be unwell, so I don’t want to disturb you too much, so I asked my aunt to accept this post. If the eldest lady’s health does not get better by that day, I hope that my aunt can come.”
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhuang's expression towards Hua Zhuo became softer and kinder, and she apologized: "I'm really rude today."

If the eldest lady’s health does not get better by that day, I hope that my aunt can come.”
Returning to Taiyechi's old house, Hua Zhuo went directly to the Fang family's house and told him about his visit to the Zhuang Mansion. The boss of the Fang family was unhappy and said, "She doesn't pay attention to you, so why are you so angry?" Go and complain about her..." The next words were indecent after all, so he didn't say any more, "On your hair extension ceremony, you only need to invite a few more noble ladies and ladies, and there is no need for her to come to support you. It would be better not to come, so as to save you. It also depends on her face.”
Only then did Hua Zhuo come to his senses. He quickly straightened his skirt which was slightly wrinkled due to sitting for a long time. He smiled at Mrs. He and said, "Please lead the way."
Just like this, Aunt Zhuang was extremely satisfied.
There are two meanings in these words. One is that she hopes Aunt Zhuang can persuade Mrs. Zhuang to attend her haircut ceremony. The other is that if she can't persuade her, she also hopes that Aunt Zhuang can come on Mrs. Zhuang's behalf.

Hua Zhuo had been waiting in the east wing for a long time, and he sighed in his heart. It seemed that Aunt Zhuang had nothing to do with Mrs. Zhuang. Today was indeed a waste of time. Unexpectedly, at the end, Sister-in-law He came over and said, Mrs. Zhuang invited her. The past made her unable to react for a moment, and she sat there without moving.
"Auntie take good care of yourself and my niece won't disturb her."
"Miss, don't keep the eldest lady waiting..." Qiqiao reminded her in her ear.

Hua Zhuo understood what he heard, but she didn't know the eldest brother-in-law's official voice ability, so she didn't directly agree. She just smiled and said: "Well, I will come here every day, so auntie don't find me annoying."
As soon as he was happy, Aunt Zhuang was also happy. Moreover, Zeng Wanping came to Beijing as an official, and her whole family settled down in Beijing. She could go back to her parents' home to be with her mother every three days when she had nothing to do. Mrs. Zhuang was also happy in her heart. When Hua Zhuo came to visit her again, she was much more pleased with her daughter-in-law-to-be. In the past six months, Hua Zhuo had come to visit her many times and received countless cold looks from her, but he always treated her respectfully, which made her feel happy. I also admire Hua Zhuo's good self-cultivation. I remember that when she was a young daughter-in-law, she would be angry for a long time if her mother-in-law said something harsh to her. She really couldn't find fault with such a daughter-in-law, but she still remembered what she said at the beginning. She always couldn't pull off her old face and treat Hua Zhuo well, so her attitude has always been cold and indifferent, but she no longer has it. I already said I wouldn’t drink Hua Zhuojing’s tea.
This was exactly what Auntie Zhengluozhuang wanted, so she hurriedly said: "I was planning to stay here for a longer period of time. In half a year, your eldest brother-in-law will go to Beijing to report on his work. The family has agreed that I will just wait for him in Beijing." , there is no need to go back, wait until we find a good job, and then we can go together. My sister-in-law can just come when she wants to come. My sisters are not here, and I feel bored. It can relieve my boredom if I have my sister-in-law with me. "
"You... well, just do it if you want to. If you don't hit a few nails, you won't know what pain is." Fang shook her head, hesitated, and finally said her original plan, "I I originally wanted to invite Mrs. Zhuang Er here, and I have already sent her a letter. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely come. If you cause trouble again, you should think about it yourself."
Returning to Taiyechi's old house, Hua Zhuo went directly to the Fang family's house and told him about his visit to the Zhuang Mansion. The boss of the Fang family was unhappy and said, "She doesn't pay attention to you, so why are you so angry?" Go and complain about her..." The next words were indecent after all, so he didn't say any more, "On your hair extension ceremony, you only need to invite a few more noble ladies and ladies, and there is no need for her to come to support you. It would be better not to come, so as to save you. It also depends on her face.”
Both of these meanings were not subtle. Aunt Zhuang could certainly hear it and said with a smile: "This is a big event, congratulations to my sister-in-law." As she said this, she put away the invitation, obviously agreeing to Hua Zhuo's request.
When she spoke, she just stared at Hua Zhuo, the deep meaning in her eyes clearly revealed.
As soon as he was happy, Aunt Zhuang was also happy. Moreover, Zeng Wanping came to Beijing as an official, and her whole family settled down in Beijing. She could go back to her parents' home to be with her mother every three days when she had nothing to do. Mrs. Zhuang was also happy in her heart. When Hua Zhuo came to visit her again, she was much more pleased with her daughter-in-law-to-be. In the past six months, Hua Zhuo had come to visit her many times and received countless cold looks from her, but he always treated her respectfully, which made her feel happy. I also admire Hua Zhuo's good self-cultivation. I remember that when she was a young daughter-in-law, she would be angry for a long time if her mother-in-law said something harsh to her. She really couldn't find fault with such a daughter-in-law, but she still remembered what she said at the beginning. She always couldn't pull off her old face and treat Hua Zhuo well, so her attitude has always been cold and indifferent, but she no longer has it. I already said I wouldn’t drink Hua Zhuojing’s tea.
Aunt Zhuang also came out and secretly observed Hua Zhuo's face. Seeing that she was not hesitant because of the cold treatment, she really liked this sister-in-law a little bit. The daughter of a wealthy family is really knowledgeable and broad-minded. , even if it is not for her husband's official position, she should still help her sister-in-law get along with her mother. After all, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not at peace, and the family home is difficult to live in. Although she is a married daughter, she also hopes that her natal family can be in harmony. Besides, the sister-in-law's family background is obviously higher than that of the banker, and her father-in-law is favored by the Holy Family. If there is a dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I'm afraid the person who will suffer the loss will not be the sister-in-law.
"Miss, don't keep the eldest lady waiting..." Qiqiao reminded her in her ear.
Hua Zhuo then asked: "I wonder how long my aunt will live in Beijing? I want to get closer to my aunt, but I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity."
Sister-in-law He led the way, and Hua Zhuo followed, but she felt a little happy and surprised in her heart. She felt that this time she had really found a way to get along with Mrs. Zhuang. No matter how hard-hearted Mrs. Zhuang was, her daughter was always her weakness. , As long as she gets along well with Aunt Zhuang and the sixth aunt she has never met, and they mediate, there is no fear that Mrs. Zhuang will not accept her as her daughter-in-law.
Aunt Zhuang was a little embarrassed. She helped Hua Zhuo up and said, "Mother is not feeling well? She has low energy. My sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart."
This was exactly what Auntie Zhengluozhuang wanted, so she hurriedly said: "I was planning to stay here for a longer period of time. In half a year, your eldest brother-in-law will go to Beijing to report on his work. The family has agreed that I will just wait for him in Beijing." , there is no need to go back, wait until we find a good job, and then we can go together. My sister-in-law can just come when she wants to come. My sisters are not here, and I feel bored. It can relieve my boredom if I have my sister-in-law with me. "
Of course, it was already half a year later that this matter was completed. At that time, Zeng Wanping came to Beijing to report on his work. Although he was not able to find a good job, he was very sorry, but when he took office as a new official, everyone was polite. Calling him Chief Master Zeng, even the officials one level higher than him and two levels above him were the same. They immediately felt satisfied and satisfied, as if they could achieve this level of officialdom, this life would be enough.
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhuang's expression towards Hua Zhuo became softer and kinder, and she apologized: "I'm really rude today."
Aunt Zhuang was a little embarrassed. She helped Hua Zhuo up and said, "Mother is not feeling well? She has low energy. My sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart."
Hua Zhuo understood what he heard, but she didn't know the eldest brother-in-law's official voice ability, so she didn't directly agree. She just smiled and said: "Well, I will come here every day, so auntie don't find me annoying."
"Miss, don't keep the eldest lady waiting..." Qiqiao reminded her in her ear.

There are two meanings in these words. One is that she hopes Aunt Zhuang can persuade Mrs. Zhuang to attend her haircut ceremony. The other is that if she can't persuade her, she also hopes that Aunt Zhuang can come on Mrs. Zhuang's behalf.
When she spoke, she just stared at Hua Zhuo, the deep meaning in her eyes clearly revealed.
Hua Xu glared and reprimanded Hua Zhuo until he came out in disgrace. But as soon as he turned around, he ordered someone to investigate this prospective relative. Later, he found a suitable opportunity and took advantage of the emperor's happiness to mention The Hanlin Academy lacked a master register to organize and archive the records. The emperor knew this well, so he asked him to recommend individuals. Hua Xu also promoted virtuous people and did not avoid relatives. Zeng Wanping is not the material to be the chief official, and he is not willing to be the assistant officer. Mr. Zhuang, the father-in-law, is not willing to support this eldest son-in-law. It can be seen that Zeng Wanping is not the material to do practical things, and Hua Xu will not give it to him. Find trouble for yourself and help him find some lucrative position.
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhuang's expression towards Hua Zhuo became softer and kinder, and she apologized: "I'm really rude today."
"Miss, don't keep the eldest lady waiting..." Qiqiao reminded her in her ear.
Just like this, Aunt Zhuang was extremely satisfied.
"My daughter's family should stop meddling in public affairs."
Hua Zhuo understood what he heard, but she didn't know the eldest brother-in-law's official voice ability, so she didn't directly agree. She just smiled and said: "Well, I will come here every day, so auntie don't find me annoying."
Although Mrs. Zhuang's attitude towards her was still indifferent, it was much better than before when she was not even willing to look at her. Hua Zhuo knew that Aunt Zhuang must have said a lot of good things to her, so she had some With the idea of reciprocating a favor, I asked my eldest brother-in-law Zeng Wanping some more questions while chatting with my aunt Zhuang. I was afraid that just listening to one family's words would be biased, so I asked my second cousin Hua Huan to help me find out.
There are two meanings in these words. One is that she hopes Aunt Zhuang can persuade Mrs. Zhuang to attend her haircut ceremony. The other is that if she can't persuade her, she also hopes that Aunt Zhuang can come on Mrs. Zhuang's behalf.
Hua Zhuo nodded, knowing that he could pay a visit to Mrs. Zhuang today because he had accepted the favor from Aunt Zhuang. He couldn't ask for too much, as the days ahead were long.
"You... well, just do it if you want to. If you don't hit a few nails, you won't know what pain is." Fang shook her head, hesitated, and finally said her original plan, "I I originally wanted to invite Mrs. Zhuang Er here, and I have already sent her a letter. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely come. If you cause trouble again, you should think about it yourself."
This was exactly what Auntie Zhengluozhuang wanted, so she hurriedly said: "I was planning to stay here for a longer period of time.

"Miss, don't keep the eldest lady waiting..." Qiqiao reminded her in her ear.
Hua Zhuo kept her word. In the following days, in addition to helping her mother manage the housework at home, she also gave some advice on how to deal with the recovered properties. She also ran to the Zhuang Mansion, although not every day. However, he had to go there every two or three days on average, and by the way, he also sent some medicinal materials for health care. With Aunt Zhuang here, he would not be ignored. After going there three or five times, he was able to see Mrs. Zhuang once. And I can still say two sentences.
Just like this, Aunt Zhuang was extremely satisfied.
Aunt Zhuang was a little embarrassed. She helped Hua Zhuo up and said, "Mother is not feeling well? She has low energy. My sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart."

Returning to Taiyechi's old house, Hua Zhuo went directly to the Fang family's house and told him about his visit to the Zhuang Mansion. The boss of the Fang family was unhappy and said, "She doesn't pay attention to you, so why are you so angry?" Go and complain about her..." The next words were indecent after all, so he didn't say any more, "On your hair extension ceremony, you only need to invite a few more noble ladies and ladies, and there is no need for her to come to support you. It would be better not to come, so as to save you. It also depends on her face.”
But after entering the main room, Hua Zhuo realized that he was still too optimistic. Mrs. Zhuang was leaning on the bed, facing inward, and allowed her to salute and greet her, but said nothing and was not even willing to look at her. .
How could Mrs. Fang fail to consider that Mrs. Zhuang would not come to watch the ceremony? Her daughter's face would not look good, but she was just too lazy to look at Mrs. Zhuang's face. She couldn't invite the nominal mother-in-law, but she could always invite the real mother-in-law. , so a letter has been sent to Nanping County. It’s just that Hua Zhuo is determined to get in trouble with Madam Zhuang. It’s okay if she can’t invite her. But if she is invited, how to deal with the relationship between the two mothers-in-law will probably give her a headache for a while, so Mrs. Fang said this, In fact, I hope Hua Zhuo will give up the idea of inviting Mrs. Zhuang.
Although Mrs. Zhuang's attitude towards her was still indifferent, it was much better than before when she was not even willing to look at her. Hua Zhuo knew that Aunt Zhuang must have said a lot of good things to her, so she had some With the idea of reciprocating a favor, I asked my eldest brother-in-law Zeng Wanping some more questions while chatting with my aunt Zhuang. I was afraid that just listening to one family's words would be biased, so I asked my second cousin Hua Huan to help me find out.
Hua Zhuo naturally knew that Mrs. Fang felt sorry for her. He thought that Madam Zhuang must also feel sorry for her daughter just as much as Mrs. Fang felt sorry for her. He immediately felt confident in his heart and said with a smile: "Mom, just leave this matter alone." Now, can you let your daughter handle it on her own?"
"You... well, just do it if you want to. If you don't hit a few nails, you won't know what pain is." Fang shook her head, hesitated, and finally said her original plan, "I I originally wanted to invite Mrs. Zhuang Er here, and I have already sent her a letter.

Only then did Hua Zhuo come to his senses. He quickly straightened his skirt which was slightly wrinkled due to sitting for a long time. He smiled at Mrs. He and said, "Please lead the way."
Hua Zhuo nodded, knowing that he could pay a visit to Mrs. Zhuang today because he had accepted the favor from Aunt Zhuang. He couldn't ask for too much, as the days ahead were long.
Only then did Hua Zhuo come to his senses. He quickly straightened his skirt which was slightly wrinkled due to sitting for a long time. He smiled at Mrs. He and said, "Please lead the way."
Of course, this is all for later. The problem facing Hua Zhuo now is how to deal with the relationship between the two would-be "mother-in-laws" during the hairpin ceremony. At this time, there were only three days left before her hair-raising ceremony. Mrs. Zhuang was persuaded by her aunt Zhuang and agreed to come to watch the ceremony. And Mrs. Zhuang's second wife, Wei Shi, also rushed to the capital, not only bringing Zhuang Jing, but also even Du Wan also came, but Hua Zhuo was overjoyed.
Both of these meanings were not subtle. Aunt Zhuang could certainly hear it and said with a smile: "This is a big event, congratulations to my sister-in-law." As she said this, she put away the invitation, obviously agreeing to Hua Zhuo's request.

She exited the main room very wisely. Some things should be done step by step and not be done in a day.

"Miss, don't keep the eldest lady waiting..." Qiqiao reminded her in her ear.
But Hua Zhuo had already made up his mind, so how could he change it so easily, so he smiled and acted coquettishly to Fang and said, "Mom, I know it well."
Hua Xu glared and reprimanded Hua Zhuo until he came out in disgrace. But as soon as he turned around, he ordered someone to investigate this prospective relative. Later, he found a suitable opportunity and took advantage of the emperor's happiness to mention The Hanlin Academy lacked a master register to organize and archive the records. The emperor knew this well, so he asked him to recommend individuals. Hua Xu also promoted virtuous people and did not avoid relatives. Zeng Wanping is not the material to be the chief official, and he is not willing to be the assistant officer. Mr. Zhuang, the father-in-law, is not willing to support this eldest son-in-law. It can be seen that Zeng Wanping is not the material to do practical things, and Hua Xu will not give it to him. Find trouble for yourself and help him find some lucrative position.
Aunt Zhuang was a little embarrassed. She helped Hua Zhuo up and said, "Mother is not feeling well? She has low energy. My sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart."

Mrs. Fang could only smile helplessly. The life after marriage was for her daughter to live by herself. Although she was the biological mother, she couldn't interfere too much. She could only give a few words. What should be done was up to her daughter. make a decision.
"What are you talking about, aunt? It's me who should thank you." Hua Zhuo laughed, took the post from Qiqiao's hand, and said: "In more than two months, it will be my hairpin gift. Today I wanted to invite you The eldest lady appreciates the gift, but I don’t want the eldest lady to be unwell, so I don’t want to disturb you too much, so I asked my aunt to accept this post. If the eldest lady’s health does not get better by that day, I hope that my aunt can come.”
This was exactly what Auntie Zhengluozhuang wanted, so she hurriedly said: "I was planning to stay here for a longer period of time. In half a year, your eldest brother-in-law will go to Beijing to report on his work. The family has agreed that I will just wait for him in Beijing." , there is no need to go back, wait until we find a good job, and then we can go together. My sister-in-law can just come when she wants to come. My sisters are not here, and I feel bored. It can relieve my boredom if I have my sister-in-law with me. "
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhuang's expression towards Hua Zhuo became softer and kinder, and she apologized: "I'm really rude today."
"You... well, just do it if you want to. If you don't hit a few nails, you won't know what pain is."

She really couldn't find fault with such a daughter-in-law, but she still remembered what she said at the beginning. She always couldn't pull off her old face and treat Hua Zhuo well, so her attitude has always been cold and indifferent, but she no longer has it. I already said I wouldn’t drink Hua Zhuojing’s tea.
Although he is not very capable, he is a good person. Although he likes to show off his official power, he has never heard of anyone disturbing and bullying the people. Most of his official power is directed at the officials in the government office. After having a basic impression of this eldest brother-in-law, Hua Zhuo mentioned this matter to his father Hua Xu.
Of course, this is all for later. The problem facing Hua Zhuo now is how to deal with the relationship between the two would-be "mother-in-laws" during the hairpin ceremony. At this time, there were only three days left before her hair-raising ceremony. Mrs. Zhuang was persuaded by her aunt Zhuang and agreed to come to watch the ceremony. And Mrs. Zhuang's second wife, Wei Shi, also rushed to the capital, not only bringing Zhuang Jing, but also even Du Wan also came, but Hua Zhuo was overjoyed.
Although Mrs. Zhuang's attitude towards her was still indifferent, it was much better than before when she was not even willing to look at her. Hua Zhuo knew that Aunt Zhuang must have said a lot of good things to her, so she had some With the idea of reciprocating a favor, I asked my eldest brother-in-law Zeng Wanping some more questions while chatting with my aunt Zhuang. I was afraid that just listening to one family's words would be biased, so I asked my second cousin Hua Huan to help me find out.
"My daughter's family should stop meddling in public affairs."
But after entering the main room, Hua Zhuo realized that he was still too optimistic. Mrs. Zhuang was leaning on the bed, facing inward, and allowed her to salute and greet her, but said nothing and was not even willing to look at her. .
In fact, this position in the Hanlin Academy is the same as the clerk's pen post type. They are all doing copying and writing work, but the rank is higher. It is a serious seventh-rank position. The most important thing is that Zeng Wanping doesn't like to show off. As for official prestige, the official position of the Hanlin Academy Registrar is not high, but after all, after entering the Hanlin Academy, you are the person in front of the emperor. How can it be like in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, no matter who you go out, you have to call the Master Zeng, even if you look down on it in your heart , you have to be polite on the surface, it can fully satisfy Zeng Wanping's preference for authority, and the copying and writing work is easy and simple, and you are not afraid of him getting into any trouble. At most, he will write a few words wrong and lose a few. An insignificant file, and an important file cannot be managed by a small chief clerk, so it is not a big deal.
Returning to Taiyechi's old house, Hua Zhuo went directly to the Fang family's house and told him about his visit to the Zhuang Mansion. The boss of the Fang family was unhappy and said, "She doesn't pay attention to you, so why are you so angry?" Go and complain about her..." The next words were indecent after all, so he didn't say any more, "On your hair extension ceremony, you only need to invite a few more noble ladies and ladies, and there is no need for her to come to support you. It would be better not to come, so as to save you. It also depends on her face.”
There are two meanings in these words. One is that she hopes Aunt Zhuang can persuade Mrs. Zhuang to attend her haircut ceremony. The other is that if she can't persuade her, she also hopes that Aunt Zhuang can come on Mrs. Zhuang's behalf.
Although Mrs. Zhuang's attitude towards her was still indifferent, it was much better than before when she was not even willing to look at her. Hua Zhuo knew that Aunt Zhuang must have said a lot of good things to her, so she had some With the idea of reciprocating a favor, I asked my eldest brother-in-law Zeng Wanping some more questions while chatting with my aunt Zhuang. I was afraid that just listening to one family's words would be biased, so I asked my second cousin Hua Huan to help me find out.
Just like this, Aunt Zhuang was extremely satisfied.
This was exactly what Auntie Zhengluozhuang wanted, so she hurriedly said: "I was planning to stay here for a longer period of time. In half a year, your eldest brother-in-law will go to Beijing to report on his work. The family has agreed that I will just wait for him in Beijing." , there is no need to go back, wait until we find a good job, and then we can go together. My sister-in-law can just come when she wants to come. My sisters are not here, and I feel bored. It can relieve my boredom if I have my sister-in-law with me. "
Hua Xu glared and reprimanded Hua Zhuo until he came out in disgrace. But as soon as he turned around, he ordered someone to investigate this prospective relative. Later, he found a suitable opportunity and took advantage of the emperor's happiness to mention The Hanlin Academy lacked a master register to organize and archive the records. The emperor knew this well, so he asked him to recommend individuals. Hua Xu also promoted virtuous people and did not avoid relatives. Zeng Wanping is not the material to be the chief official, and he is not willing to be the assistant officer. Mr. Zhuang, the father-in-law, is not willing to support this eldest son-in-law. It can be seen that Zeng Wanping is not the material to do practical things, and Hua Xu will not give it to him. Find trouble for yourself and help him find some lucrative position.
Hua Zhuo naturally knew that Mrs. Fang felt sorry for her. He thought that Madam Zhuang must also feel sorry for her daughter just as much as Mrs. Fang felt sorry for her. He immediately felt confident in his heart and said with a smile: "Mom, just leave this matter alone." Now, can you let your daughter handle it on her own?"

"Auntie take good care of yourself and my niece won't disturb her."

It would be better not to come, so as to save you. It also depends on her face.”
Hua Zhuo understood what he heard, but she didn't know the eldest brother-in-law's official voice ability, so she didn't directly agree. She just smiled and said: "Well, I will come here every day, so auntie don't find me annoying."
Of course, this is all for later. The problem facing Hua Zhuo now is how to deal with the relationship between the two would-be "mother-in-laws" during the hairpin ceremony.

But after entering the main room, Hua Zhuo realized that he was still too optimistic. Mrs. Zhuang was leaning on the bed, facing inward, and allowed her to salute and greet her, but said nothing and was not even willing to look at her. .
"What are you talking about, aunt? It's me who should thank you." Hua Zhuo laughed, took the post from Qiqiao's hand, and said: "In more than two months, it will be my hairpin gift. Today I wanted to invite you The eldest lady appreciates the gift, but I don’t want the eldest lady to be unwell, so I don’t want to disturb you too much, so I asked my aunt to accept this post. If the eldest lady’s health does not get better by that day, I hope that my aunt can come.”
Aunt Zhuang also came out and secretly observed Hua Zhuo's face. Seeing that she was not hesitant because of the cold treatment, she really liked this sister-in-law a little bit. The daughter of a wealthy family is really knowledgeable and broad-minded. , even if it is not for her husband's official position, she should still help her sister-in-law get along with her mother. After all, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not at peace, and the family home is difficult to live in. Although she is a married daughter, she also hopes that her natal family can be in harmony. Besides, the sister-in-law's family background is obviously higher than that of the banker, and her father-in-law is favored by the Holy Family. If there is a dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I'm afraid the person who will suffer the loss will not be the sister-in-law.
How could Mrs. Fang fail to consider that Mrs. Zhuang would not come to watch the ceremony? Her daughter's face would not look good, but she was just too lazy to look at Mrs. Zhuang's face. She couldn't invite the nominal mother-in-law, but she could always invite the real mother-in-law. , so a letter has been sent to Nanping County. It’s just that Hua Zhuo is determined to get in trouble with Madam Zhuang. It’s okay if she can’t invite her. But if she is invited, how to deal with the relationship between the two mothers-in-law will probably give her a headache for a while, so Mrs. Fang said this, In fact, I hope Hua Zhuo will give up the idea of inviting Mrs. Zhuang.
But after entering the main room, Hua Zhuo realized that he was still too optimistic. Mrs. Zhuang was leaning on the bed, facing inward, and allowed her to salute and greet her, but said nothing and was not even willing to look at her. .

Most of his official power is directed at the officials in the government office. After having a basic impression of this eldest brother-in-law, Hua Zhuo mentioned this matter to his father Hua Xu.
Of course, it was already half a year later that this matter was completed. At that time, Zeng Wanping came to Beijing to report on his work. Although he was not able to find a good job, he was very sorry, but when he took office as a new official, everyone was polite. Calling him Chief Master Zeng, even the officials one level higher than him and two levels above him were the same. They immediately felt satisfied and satisfied, as if they could achieve this level of officialdom, this life would be enough.
"What are you talking about, aunt? It's me who should thank you." Hua Zhuo laughed, took the post from Qiqiao's hand, and said: "In more than two months, it will be my hairpin gift. Today I wanted to invite you The eldest lady appreciates the gift, but I don’t want the eldest lady to be unwell, so I don’t want to disturb you too much, so I asked my aunt to accept this post.

Just like this, Aunt Zhuang was extremely satisfied.
"You... well, just do it if you want to. If you don't hit a few nails, you won't know what pain is." Fang shook her head, hesitated, and finally said her original plan, "I I originally wanted to invite Mrs. Zhuang Er here, and I have already sent her a letter. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely come. If you cause trouble again, you should think about it yourself."
Hua Xu glared and reprimanded Hua Zhuo until he came out in disgrace. But as soon as he turned around, he ordered someone to investigate this prospective relative. Later, he found a suitable opportunity and took advantage of the emperor's happiness to mention The Hanlin Academy lacked a master register to organize and archive the records.

It can be seen that Zeng Wanping is not the material to do practical things, and Hua Xu will not give it to him. Find trouble for yourself and help him find some lucrative position.
As soon as he was happy, Aunt Zhuang was also happy. Moreover, Zeng Wanping came to Beijing as an official, and her whole family settled down in Beijing. She could go back to her parents' home to be with her mother every three days when she had nothing to do. Mrs. Zhuang was also happy in her heart. When Hua Zhuo came to visit her again, she was much more pleased with her daughter-in-law-to-be. In the past six months, Hua Zhuo had come to visit her many times and received countless cold looks from her, but he always treated her respectfully, which made her feel happy. I also admire Hua Zhuo's good self-cultivation. I remember that when she was a young daughter-in-law, she would be angry for a long time if her mother-in-law said something harsh to her.

And Mrs. Zhuang's second wife, Wei Shi, also rushed to the capital, not only bringing Zhuang Jing, but also even Du Wan also came, but Hua Zhuo was overjoyed.
Hua Zhuo nodded, knowing that he could pay a visit to Mrs. Zhuang today because he had accepted the favor from Aunt Zhuang. He couldn't ask for too much, as the days ahead were long.
Both of these meanings were not subtle. Aunt Zhuang could certainly hear it and said with a smile: "This is a big event, congratulations to my sister-in-law." As she said this, she put away the invitation, obviously agreeing to Hua Zhuo's request.

Hua Zhuo kept her word. In the following days, in addition to helping her mother manage the housework at home, she also gave some advice on how to deal with the recovered properties. She also ran to the Zhuang Mansion, although not every day. However, he had to go there every two or three days on average, and by the way, he also sent some medicinal materials for health care. With Aunt Zhuang here, he would not be ignored. After going there three or five times, he was able to see Mrs. Zhuang once. And I can still say two sentences.
When she spoke, she just stared at Hua Zhuo, the deep meaning in her eyes clearly revealed.
Of course, this is all for later. The problem facing Hua Zhuo now is how to deal with the relationship between the two would-be "mother-in-laws" during the hairpin ceremony.

Sister-in-law He led the way, and Hua Zhuo followed, but she felt a little happy and surprised in her heart. She felt that this time she had really found a way to get along with Mrs. Zhuang. No matter how hard-hearted Mrs. Zhuang was, her daughter was always her weakness. , As long as she gets along well with Aunt Zhuang and the sixth aunt she has never met, and they mediate, there is no fear that Mrs. Zhuang will not accept her as her daughter-in-law.
