Chapter 119
When the people from Ning's mansion arrived at Yang's mansion, the carriages at the gate of Yang's mansion were already lined up for some distance.

Mrs. Xiao Zhao poked her head out to have a look, and complained: "I said to go out early, one by one, not in a hurry, look, are you late?"

Mrs. Xiao Zhao wanted to make friends with Yang Yanqing's wife, Luo Shi, and she came early, hoping to get close to Mrs. Luo when the guests were not many.

Nanny Qin comforted with a smile: "Madam, calm down, we are not too late.

Today is Mrs. Qin's th birthday, so many people came to congratulate her.In just a short while, there are already many people lined up behind us. "

Mrs. Xiao Zhao poked her head out again, looked behind her, and saw that there were many cars behind her carriage, and the resentment in her heart suddenly dissipated.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao's face softened, Mother Qin tried to divert Mrs. Zhao's attention without saying anything.

"The Yang family has a lot of acquaintances and many guests. Madam can get in touch with the wives and young ladies of the aristocratic family today, and choose a suitable marriage for the uncle."

Speaking of her son's marriage, Mrs. Xiao Zhao's face became more pleasant.

"Well, you're right, brother Yang is not young anymore, he should start a family."

Besides Ning Yang, there is also Ning He, sister He will reach the age of marriage next month.

Thinking that Sister He's heart was on Shi Jingyang, Mrs. Zhao's heart became restless again.

The last time she went back to Chengguo's mansion for a banquet, she wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Mrs. Weiyuan Hou.

It's a pity that before she got in touch with Mrs. Hou, sister He had an accident in the lake, and she had to take sister He away.

Regarding the matter of He'er falling into the lake, she put in some thought and let the rumors go away for a few days. She thought that Prince Chen's mansion would do something about it.

Unexpectedly, Prince Chen's mansion remained indifferent, as if the previous incident had never happened.

As it was related to the palace, she didn't dare to make any big moves, so she could only let the situation become what it is now.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao Zhao couldn't help but frowned slightly.

After many days, she still couldn't figure out what King Chen meant?
If it is said that King Chen has no intention of He'er, why did he jump down to save He'er that day?
If Chen Wang is interested in He'er, but after so many days, why is there no movement in Chen Wang's mansion?
Mrs. Xiao Zhao looked up at Nanny Qin and asked, "You said, will King Chen come to the banquet today?"

She clearly talked about the uncle's marriage, but why did Madam mention Chen Wang?When did the uncle have friendship with Chen Wang?

Nanny Qin looked at Mrs. Zhao in confusion.

Mrs. Xiao Zhao frowned even tighter, and asked, "What are you thinking? Asking you something?"

Qin Nanny came back to her senses and said, "This... this old slave doesn't know."

Mrs. Xiao Zhao rolled her eyes at Qin Nanny, reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "That's right, how can a servant like you guess the whereabouts of the lord?"

Facing Madam Xiao Zhao's contempt, Nanny Qin was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Madam is right..."

Little Mrs. Zhao glanced at Nanny Qin who was full of flattery, leaned forward, approached Nanny Qin and asked, "What do you mean by King Chen?"

"Huh?" Mother Qin looked at Mrs. Zhao with a puzzled face. She really didn't understand what Mrs. Zhao meant.

Mrs. Zhao saw that Nanny Qin was full of doubts, and explained: "Let me ask you, what does King Chen mean to He'er?"

Qin Nanny came to her senses, "Oh, madam is asking this?"

Mrs. Xiao Zhao glanced at Mother Qin, and said angrily, "Otherwise?"

Nanny Qin secretly glanced at Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Xiao Zhao said: "If I tell you to say it, you can say it. What do you think I am doing?"

Nanny Qin said: "In my opinion, the king of Chen may be tempted by the second lady. Otherwise, on the day at Chengguo's mansion, the king of Chen would not have jumped into the lake without hesitation to rescue the second lady."

Nanny Qin observed Mrs. Zhao's face while talking.

Mrs. Xiao Zhao gave her a sideways glance, and said, "Don't look at me, just keep talking about yours. If Chen Wang is interested in He'er, why is there no movement in Chen Wang's mansion these days?"

Seeing Mrs. Zhao's cold eyes, Mother Qin didn't dare to look around.

He bowed his head and said: "That day, there were many guests in Chengguo's mansion, besides King Chen, the crown prince, King Yan, and King Jin also went.

I'm afraid the imperial concubine has already known about Chen Wang's rescue of the second young lady.

Well...then what, even though our master is Yuanwailang, the Ning Mansion is also the home of officials.

It's just...it's just that, in the capital where meritorious service gathers, the family status of our mansion is... low.

As the prince, Chen Wanggui is also the heart of the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine may not be very satisfied with this marriage..."

Nanny Qin looked at Mrs. Xiao Zhao while talking, and said what was in her heart with fear.

Mrs. Xiao Zhao fell silent after hearing this.

She has thought about these things,

Mrs. Xiao Zhao sighed a little frustrated, and said quietly: "That's what I'm worried about.

If the imperial concubine is dissatisfied with this marriage, let's not pursue this marriage.

I'm afraid that King Chen is thinking about He'er..."

Nanny Qin looked up at Madam Xiao Zhao, and asked, "Madam is worried..."

Mrs. Zhao held the teacup in her hand and said, "I'm afraid that King Chen will fall in love with He'er, and if he keeps pestering He'er, then He'er's future will be over."

After being reminded by Mrs. Zhao, Nanny Qin understands the barriers.

If Chen Wang takes a fancy to the Second Miss, and the imperial concubine looks down on the Ning Mansion, the Second Miss may not be able to be Chen Wangfei.

In this way, the second lady can only be the side concubine or concubine of King Chen.

Thinking of this, Mother Qin couldn't help shivering.

The second young lady is the precious daughter of my wife who is loved and spoiled by thousands of people. As a mother, who wants to let his daughter be someone's concubine?

What's more, such an assertive and unbearable temper like Madam.

Let the second lady be a concubine, isn't that stabbing her heart with a knife?
Madam Xiao Zhao picked up the teacup, drank the tea in the cup, and said: "Today, no matter what, we have to talk to the Weiyuanhou's residence.

Try to renew the marriage contract between the two mansions, as long as we settle the marriage between He'er and Shi Shizi before the action of Prince Chen's mansion.

As long as the marriage between Shi Shizi and He'er is finalized, even if King Chen has thoughts about He'er, he will not dare to directly confront the Weiyuan Marquis. "

Nanny Qin nodded in agreement, "That's right! Standing behind the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion are the crown prince and the empress. If Wang Chen fights with Shi Shizi, he is fighting with the prince and the empress.

The imperial concubine should not agree with Chen Wang to do this. "

Mrs. Zhao nodded. Her He'er heart is happy with Shi Jingyang, so she will let He'er's wishes come true.

The car stopped, and the driver said, "Ma'am, we're here!"

"This is the female family member of Ning Yuanwailang's house on Qili Street." The nurse in charge of Yang's house reported.

Mrs. Xiao Zhao got out of the car, and the nurse in charge of the Yang Mansion introduced to the woman in rose-purple brocade: "Ma'am, this is Mrs. Zhao from Ningyuanwailang's residence on Qili Street."

Miss Yang San added with a smile: "Aniang, this is Miss Ning Er's mother, Mrs. Zhao."

Mrs. Zhao knew in her heart that the person in front of her was Luo Shi, the wife of Yang Yanheng, a foreigner, so she smiled and said, "Hello, Mrs. Luo."

When Mrs. Luo got off the car, Mrs. Zhao began to secretly look at her.

Yesterday, I heard from Xin Ye that Second Miss Ning was very rich, spending money like running water.Although she listened, she didn't take it seriously.

In Mrs. Luo, how much money can I spend buying some gadgets at the little girl's house?
Seeing Mrs. Zhao's outfit today, I was extremely shocked. Ning Mansion is richer than what Xin Ye said.

The embroidered jacquard gauze on Mrs. Zhao's body made her feel like white silver dangled in front of her eyes.

She has a round fan made of jacquard embroidered gauze of the same color, which she is reluctant to use at ordinary times, and only takes it out for display on important days.

These years, she has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, so she knows a little about embroidery.

I heard from an old embroiderer that the jacquard embroidery of gauze yarn is extremely difficult, requiring one embroidery thread to be split into sixteen strands...

An embroiderer who does nothing for a month can embroider a flower from morning till night.

How much manpower does Zhao's embroidered gauze cost?
What's even more irritating is that the vamp on her feet is also the same color gauze jacquard embroidery.

This person's life is extremely extravagant, Mrs. Luo knows that behind the extravagance, there must be piles of gold and silver to rely on.

Mrs. Zhao is extremely rich!

"Hello, Mrs. Zhao! There are too many guests in the mansion today, and the hospitality is not good enough. Please invite Mrs. Zhao Haihan." Mrs. Luo greeted Xiao Mrs. Zhao with a pleasant face.

Miss Yang San held Ning He's hand and said, "Aniang, this is Miss Ning Er."

Mrs. Luo nodded with a smile, "Second Miss Ning was born slim and graceful, she really followed Mrs. Zhao, she was born beautiful."

Mrs. Zhao sensed the meaning of friendship from Mrs. Luo's words, and she was overjoyed, and politely replied: "Madam, the third lady is smart and charming."

Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "Stop praising her, if you do, this girl should be proud. Xin Ye, you lead Mrs. Zhao, Second Miss Ning, and Third Miss Ning in."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Luo smiled again and said to Mrs. Zhao: "The sun is high today, Madam followed Xin Ye to the banquet hall to rest, there was ice in the banquet hall, and the room was cool. I will talk to Madam when I turn back. "

Mrs. Xiao Zhao thanked her with a blessing, said a few words of courtesy, and walked in with Miss Yang San.

After being warmly received by Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Xiao Zhao was in a good mood, with a smile on her face, and she took the initiative to say hello to everyone she saw.

After arriving at the banquet hall, Mrs. Xiao Zhao wanted to say hello to Mrs. Qin, but she looked around the banquet hall, but she did not see Mrs. Qin, "Miss San, where is Mrs. Qin?"

Yang Xinye said: "My aunt is talking with a few old ladies in her yard right now, and she will come over to the banquet hall when the banquet starts."

Mrs. Luo thought that Mrs. Qin was surrounded by respected old ladies in Beijing, and wanted to show her face in front of these people, so she asked, "Miss San, can you guide me? I want to say hello to old lady."

"Miss San, Madam has something to do with you, so let the servants come and invite Miss San." Before Yang Xinye could say anything, a maid in green came over to report.

"Okay, I understand." Yang Xin responded, turned to look at Mrs. Xiao Zhao, and said apologetically, "Madam, I'm sorry, I have to leave first."

Mrs. Zhao saw that she was busy, so she could only smile and said: "No hurry, Miss Yang San will go to work first."

After Yang Xinye left, Mrs. Zhao took Ning He and Ning Lei to find a table next to the ice basin and sat down, looked around, and said, "I don't know when your grandmother will arrive?"

The head of Wan Da asked someone to send a message to her, letting her go to the banquet with peace of mind, and he was responsible for other matters.

Ning He looked up and looked around, and said: "It's still early, I'm afraid it will take a while."

"Hey, Mrs. Zhao, are you here early?" Mrs. Cui, from Liu Shilang's residence of the Ministry of Industry, stepped into the banquet hall, saw Mrs. Zhao's mother and daughter at a glance, and walked towards this side.

"Keep an eye on it. If your grandmother and the others come, come and tell me." Mrs. Xiao Zhao reminded Ning He, and then smiled and stood up to meet Mrs. Cui.

The name of Mrs. Cui in Liu Shilang's house is Cui Jianing.

Cui Jianing and Cui Jiayin, the wife of Yang Haoliang in the Yang family, are cousins ​​of the same clan.

In these years, Cui Jiayin was in office with Yang Haoliang and did not stay in the capital for much time.

Cui Jianing did not alienate Yang's mansion because of Cui Jiayin's absence, during festivals, Cui Jianing would go to the manor for every minor matter in the two mansions.

Today, she went out early because she wanted to go to the mansion earlier to help the Yang mansion greet the guests.

However, my family lives in the east of the city, a little far away from the Yang Mansion, so I wasted a lot of time on the way.

Liu Yunshu got a good bracelet from Ning He when he held a banquet at Duke Chengguo's mansion, and he remembered Ning He's goodness in his heart.

Seeing Ning He, she was also very enthusiastic. "Sister He, are you here? Where's Xin Ye? Why haven't you seen her?"

"Madam Xing has something to do with Xin Ye, and Xin Ye has gone to work."

Ning He greeted Mrs. Cui first, and then replied to Liu Yunshu's words.

Because the two mansions traveled a lot, Liu Yunshu was very familiar with Yang's mansion, and said, "Mrs. Xing must have asked Xin Ye to go to the flower hall to receive the ladies from various families. Let's go too."

For banquets in the family of the capital, in addition to the banquet hall for people to rest, there is also a courtyard specially arranged for the ladies to play.

There are all kinds of games in the small courtyard, and there are also special maids and mothers-in-law to serve on the side.

Let the children play happily, and the adults can sit down and talk quietly.

Ning He looked at Madam Xiao Zhao, and waited for Madam Xiao Zhao to show her.

Mrs. Zhao nodded, "Go, take Miss Lei well."

Ning He got her mother's permission, took her leave, took Ning Lei, and went to the flower hall with Liu Yunshu.

Madam Cui smiled and praised: "Second Miss Ning is really clever, Madam taught well!"

Mrs. Xiao Zhao said politely: "Madam, I appreciate the award. However, Sister He has been sensible since she was a child, so I am very relieved."

"That's why Madam can teach! Such a sensible girl, I don't know who will take advantage of it in the future!" Madam Cui said with a smile.

On the other side, Yang Xinye saw the servant girl leading her to the old man Qin's spring garden, and asked, "Didn't my sister-in-law call me? How do I get to the spring garden?"

There is a hot spring in the yard where Mrs. Qin lives, so the yard is named Spring Garden.

The servant girl bent her knees and said, "The eldest lady is at the old lady's side right now."

Yang Xinye said angrily, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

The servant girl felt wronged, she didn't know why Yang Xinye was angry, she bent her knees and replied: "My maidservant made a mistake, I didn't tell Miss San where the eldest lady is."

The maid's attitude of admitting her mistake made Yang Xinye feel so angry that she couldn't let go, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's go."

Knowing that the elder sister-in-law was in Quanyuan, she brought Mrs. Zhao to pay her respects to the elder aunt.

Seeing that Yang Xinye did not pursue the matter anymore, the servant girl bowed her knees and thanked her.
