The rain continued to fall, pattering, and clanging on the eaves.
Xiang leaned on the pillow of indigo blue rattan cloud, slumbering with his eyes closed. The gilt beauty cauldron in the room exudes a faint fragrance, which makes people sleepy.
Hearing a faint sound of footsteps, Xiang opened his eyes, looked at the embossed flower bed that walked in, and asked "What's the matter?" The Qiu family doesn't care about everything. Once the Xiang family got married, he handed Zhongzun to her. In charge.
As soon as he entered the door, he received such a heavy burden.
Pu Ye lowered his voice and said, "Someone is coming from Gaocheng." Although he has only been married for more than a month, as the head of the house, Xiang's news is still very good.
Xiang's head nodded and stood up, "It's time to go and please my mother." Because Han Jianming is a well-known filial son, Xiang is also very diligent and diligent. Even if Qiu's family didn't let her go, Xiang's family hadn't been left for a day. In this regard, Han Jianming expressed his satisfaction.
As soon as Qiu's read Yuxi's letter, he heard the maid saying that Xiang was here. Qiu put down the letter and said with a smile, "Hurry up, please come in, madam." Qiu was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
The Xiang family gave the Qiu family a blessing "mother."
Qiu said cheerfully, "Family, what do you do with so many gifts? Come here and sit here." After speaking, he patted the position beside him.
Xiang walked over and sat down slowly. After sitting down, he pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Mother is so happy, is there any happy event? Let my daughter-in-law also listen to it and have a good time."
Qiu's family helped the forehead on his forehead and said, "Yuxi asked someone to send something over." There were many kinds of things to send, including everything for food and clothing. Yuxi doesn't send it often, either, she will send it once every three months.
Xiang's hand had a meal, but soon he smiled and said, "The princess is really filial, mother is blessed." She has been married to the master for more than a month, but she has not received any gifts from Yuxi. It's not that she wants that thing, but that Yuxi's identity is special. If Yuxi didn't wait to see her, it would be difficult for her to stand firm in the Han family.
Ruyan held a huanghuali wooden box and placed it on the table. This box was lifelike with begonia carved on it. Just looking at this box, you know that the contents are very valuable.
Qiu's opened the box and saw a Guanyin for sending children inside. This Guanyin statue is carved from a whole piece of white jade in a three-dimensional round. The white as jade Guanyin head is in a conch-shaped hair bun, a cloak-style robe, a sash on the chest, a jade bracelet on the wrist, and a lotus in hand, with a graceful look. The posture is dignified. Leaning slightly, an innocent boy is involved in the dress. Not to mention that this is carved from the finest Hetian white jade, but this carving is very rare.
There was a touch of movement in Xiang's eyes for such a beautiful and exquisite Guanyin.
"This is given to you by the princess. I hope you can open up branches and leaves for the Han family as soon as possible." This gift from Yuxi has won Qiu's heart.
After speaking, the Qiu clan looked at Xiang clan's belly and said, "Mother also hopes to hear the good news from you soon." There are three prostitutes in the second room, but there is not one in the big room. I have to say that this is Qiu's biggest regret.
Xiang's face stiffened, and realizing that her expression was wrong, she immediately lowered her head and said, "Mother..." She had only been married for more than a month, and Qiu's had already said similar things many times, which put her under a lot of pressure. In fact, she also wanted to give birth to a child as soon as possible, so she had a firm foothold.
Qiu means that Xiang is shy, smiled and patted her hand and said, "What's so shy about this."
Han Jianming just heard this when he came over, opened the pearl curtain and smiled and said, "What's shy?"
People are full of spirits at happy events, and Han Jianming has been in a good mood ever since he married Xiang.
The Qiu family was busy asking someone to arrange a seat for Han Jianming, and then said, "When will Axin give birth to me a grandson?" Pan Sun Pan made her look pierced.
Han Jianming glanced at Xiang Shi, who was full of shame, and said with a smile, "Mother, this matter can't be rushed, it's better to let it go." Xiang is in good health. He is now staying in the main courtyard, and he must be soon. There is good news.
After Ruxia made a cup of tea and put it next to Han Jianming, she retreated behind Qiu's.
Yuxi doesn't drink much tea, but Han Jianming does the opposite. He drinks tea every day. Xiang also learned the tea ceremony when he was young, so the husband and wife had a very topical conversation.
Han Jianming opened the lid of the tea cup, glanced at the tea cup and smiled and said, "Mother, this tea is a piece of the princess's heart, and you have to drink it on weekdays." drink.
The things Yuxi gave to the Qiu family were the best. Except for Han Jianming, Qiu Clan would not use these things for anyone else, even if Brother Chang, who loved her very much, didn't have this honor.
"Look at you with an open eyebrow, what joy did Yuxi tell you?" It's rare to see his son so happy.
Han Jian is clearly very happy. "The Yuxi letter says that General Xu has taken a fancy to Brother Hua and wants to promise him the eldest daughter." The eldest daughter married to the Feng family, and now the second son can marry the eldest girl of the Xu family. Dear, it will be good for the Han family in the future.
"General Xu? Which general Xu?" The Qiu family is not interested in outside affairs, and naturally he is not familiar with people in official circles. The Qiu clan was just the age of Han Yan's grandson, and no one knew what was happening outside.
"It's Xu Zhen, the second most useful general under the prince." After a pause, Han Jianming added, "The first one is Feng Dajun, Qiqi's father-in-law."
After thinking about it, the Qiu family still has no impression. She doesn’t even have any impression of Mrs. Xu. "How does that girl look like? What is her character?" Don't understand at all.
Regarding the marriage of his stepson, Xiang Shi was very witty and didn't interrupt. Not to mention the Hua brother who grew up in the palace, she is not qualified to manage even the Chang brother in the mansion now.
Han Jianming smiled and said, "Mother, don't you believe Yuxi's vision? Yuxi said that this kid is pretty and has a hearty temperament, I think you will like it, mother." Clearly, Yuxi won't say more. It's just that this didn't happen, and Han Jianming didn't tell the Qiu family. Now the Xu family has taken a fancy to Brother Hua, and he will not mention the previous things again.
Thinking that the second daughter-in-law was chosen by Yuxi, the Qiu family had nothing to say, "I won't go back to the marriage of Qiqi, and I will go back when Brother Hua gets married." She is in good health now, and she can also go back to Gaocheng. no problem.
Han Jianming smiled and said, "Mother, the Xu family girl is only fifteen years old this year, and it is estimated that it will take two or three years to get married!" The marriages in Gaocheng are relatively late, and most of the girls are married at the age of 17. Unlike the capital city, he was married on 15th to 6th.
Qiu's nodded, and then repeated the old saying, "Brother Hua is a younger brother, and he is about to be married. Brother Chang is two years older than Brother Hua, and his marriage should be settled. You can't get older brother. It's late than the younger brother, what's the matter?" They said that their faces were not pretty.
Speaking of Brother Chang, Han Jianming's face is not very good-looking. Because of Yingxiang's incident, Han Hao's daughter-in-law was very strict with this piece, and was afraid that something similar would happen again. Han Jianming said, "I will hurry up on this matter."
Qiu looked at Xiang and said, "Axin, the peonies in the yard are blooming, and you invite all the ladies to enjoy the flowers." In the name of viewing the flowers, I showed them to Brother Chang.
Xiang thinks this is a bit tricky. She just passed the door and didn't know about Brother Chang, how did she know what kind of daughter-in-law to choose for Brother Chang. It should be a good choice. If the election is not good enough to be angered by the old lady, then her life in the house will be difficult. Xiang looked at Han Jianming, hoping that he could refuse.
Unfortunately, the couple still cultivated a good understanding. Thinking that Brother Hua was about to make a date, Brother Chang really couldn't delay any longer. Han Jianming nodded and said, "Mother, this idea is great. Axin, you will disclose this." Those who are interested will bring their own girl.
Even if he is reluctant, Xiang can't refuse "good." The stepson is bigger than her, and the pressure is not normal for the stepsons to see each other.
"By the way, Qiqi has been pregnant for more than two months. You, a human father, can't say that you have nothing?" It is a great regret for Qiu to fail to go back to attend Qiqi's wedding.
Han Jianming smiled and said, "I've been asked to buy it." He valued Feng Dajun's relatives very much, and Qiqi had his first grandchildren in his stomach, so how could he not care about it.
The Xiang family is in charge of the affairs of the back house, and Han Jianming does not let her interfere in the front yard and never tell her.
The Qiu clan said, "Is the date of Zaozao's marriage set?" Now Qiu clan cares about the marriage of his grandchildren, and she ignores other things at all.
"No. I think the prince and the princess will stay as the chief princess for another two years." Originally wanted Zaozao to marry Brother Chang, but Yun Qing didn't look at it. Otherwise, he won't worry anymore.
Qiu's brow frowned.
Han Jianming looked at Qiu's expression and immediately said, "Mother, the prince and the princess are reluctant to marry their daughters and want to stay for two more years. It is also human nature." Even if the mother is an elder, she is not qualified to intervene in the marriage of the grand princess. Otherwise, let the prince know that he is more and more unwilling to see the Han family.
Qiu's swallowed the words that came to his lips.
The maid outside said, "Old lady, sir, the second master is here to ask for peace."
Han Jianming frowned, but he didn't want to make Qiu's mood bad, so he didn't say anything.
Brother Chang is about the same age as Xiang. In order to avoid suspicion, he invited the old lady and went back, and did not stay for dinner.
After dinner, Han Jianming went back to the front yard to deal with the matter, leaving the Xiang clan to accompany the Qiu clan.
After learning about Brother Hua, Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir." The Han family has another powerful in-laws.
Han Jianming sighed and said, "Hua'er doesn't care about his marriage, but Changer..." If Hua'er is the eldest son, that would be great, and he doesn't need to worry anymore.
I have been with Han Jianming for thirty years. How can I not know that Han Jianming is suffering from this "Second Master is still young, and he will be sensible when he gets married." Even Mr. Zhao himself did not believe this.
Han Jianming said, "Hope!" If Brother Chang couldn't support the wall with mud, he wouldn't hand over the Han family to him. He didn't want the Han family that he worked so hard to revitalize, and let Brother Chang be defeated.
When Xiang was a girl at home, he never attended any big gatherings, and at most he invited a few friends from his boudoir to gather. Now let her entertain the families of officials of Grade 4 and above in Jinling City, she has no idea at all.
Fortunately, Xiang is a clever man. Since I don’t understand, I’ll find someone who understands to help me. “I’ve never held such a large banquet before, and I feel a little flustered. Mother, can you let Mother Li point me.”
The Qiu clan was an innocent man with both hands, and a lot of things in the inner courtyard before the Xiang clan married and entered the door, it was Mama Li's decision. The other lady in charge has been removed by the Xiang family.
Turning his head to look at Mama Li, Qiu said, "This banquet will make you tired." Mama Li is still very experienced in this area.
Mother Li smiled and said, "I just hope Madam will not dislike me for troublesome time." Xiang Shi took over the general affairs and evacuated some people, but she did not move. The reason is simple, the kitchen steward is Mama Li's son and daughter-in-law.
Xiang said with a smile on his face, "Then I will bother Mama Li." Xiang is also a smart person. She will not fight Mama Li until she has a firm foothold. Otherwise, Mama Li blows the hair in Qiu's ear, and she is the one who suffers.
The Qiu family enters the Buddhist hall to recite scriptures at three quarters to the hour every day, and this day is no exception.
Returning to the main courtyard, Xiang's maid Pu Ye said, "Girl, do you really want Mama Li to help manage the banquet?" Xiang has only been married for more than a month, and Pu Ye hasn't changed her name yet.
Mother Li's daughter-in-law Zhang was greedy for a lot of money in the kitchen, and Xiang didn't pursue her or touch her. But Li's not only was not grateful, but made several trips to Xiang's. Therefore, Puye was very dissatisfied with Zhang's.
Xiang Shi laughed and said, "If you don't let Mama Li help, I won't be able to hold this banquet." This kind of thing must be pointed out.
Pu Ye said softly, "May I ask Grandma for help!" Pu Ye said Mrs. Xia.
Xiang Shi glanced at Pu Ye and said, "It's not compliant, the master will be upset if you know it." Mother Li is from the Han family, so it's okay to ask her to help. Asking outsiders for help will lower the face of Han Mansion.
Pu Ye was a little frustrated, "Girl, when shall we clean up that Zhang clan?" Pu Ye hated Zhang clan's arrogance.
Xiang said indifferently, "This is not in a hurry." When she has a firm foothold, she will take care of the people who rely on the old and sell the old.
Pu Ye didn't speak any more.
After a while, another maid of the Xiang family came in and said softly, "Madam, the second master sent a message saying that Madam's medicine is almost finished." The Xiang family's mother is sick, and can only be maintained now. After Han Jianming and Xiang were married, they hired a doctor, and the doctor said that he should take good care of him.
Pu Ye's face was very ugly, and he said, "After taking my wife's medicine, go to the drugstore and grab it. Tell the girl what to do?" The Han family gave the Qianliang the beneficiary. It is also for this reason that the subordinates of Han Mansion look down upon the Xiang clan.
Fu Tuan glared at Pu Ye, which pot is really not kicked open. Saying this is not to poke the girl's heart more.
A tired expression appeared on Xiang's face, "Let him go back first, and wait for the medicine for two days."
