The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

Cui Ming is old, but not old and confused. Yunhuang's treasury, before the eldest princess took over, was in ruins and destitute. Now, under the eldest princess's control, in just one year, the annual income is greater than the annual expenditure, and millions of taxes have been accumulated. surplus. She thought that if the Yan family's century-old foundation was in the hands of the eldest princess, it would surely prosper.

A good hostess can prosper for three generations, and the children and grandchildren will benefit a lot.

The whole family got together and had a great time eating hot pot with tomato soup base.

Cui Ming visits her grandson every month, but this is the first time she is as happy as today.

After meal.

She took Mu Tingxue's hand and put an imperial green glass jadeite bracelet on her future daughter-in-law's wrist: "This is Yang'er's grandmother. She gave it to me back then. Now, I'm passing it on to you."

Cui Ming was also the daughter-in-law of the Yan family.

Her natal family was very powerful, and it was originally a family marriage based on interests. Fortunately, she and her husband fell in love with each other after the marriage, and their lives were harmonious.

Mu Tingxue's ears turned red, and her heart felt like hot oil had been poured on her: "Thank you, aunt."

Stroking the jade bracelet, she knew it was a family heirloom, passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law.

Yan Yang's grandmother, Empress Dowager Yan's biological mother, whom Mu Tingxue had never met, was from the Nangong family.

"What kind of person is grandma?" Mu Tingxue couldn't help but be curious.

"My mother-in-law is knowledgeable and talented. She is good at latitude and longitude. She studied under Master Guigu, the most talented person in Yunhuang. She debated scriptures with eminent monks without falling behind. Her poems are beautiful and her talent is famous far and wide." A look of reverence appeared on Cui Ming's face. , and at the same time there was a touch of fear, "She is very strict and teaches the descendants of the Yan family. She has taught Yan Yang's father, the Queen Mother, and the right servant She Yan to be as good as her."

Mu Tingxue was in awe: "So grandma is so powerful and a talented woman."

"It's not just about talented women."

Cui Ming glanced at Yan Yang meaningfully, "The first generation of Duke Wu An was illiterate at all. The Yan family was born in the military. You know those mud-legged soldiers, let alone asking them to write articles. It’s already very rare to be able to write your own name properly.”

Yan Yang coughed awkwardly.

The ancestor's fault was exposed by his mother.

Mu Tingxue almost spit out a mouthful of tea: "So, the ancestors of the Yan family are illiterate?"

Her impression of Daidaiwu Angong was completely overturned.

After all, the child's father is so awesome, capable in both civil and military affairs, with unparalleled military exploits and extraordinary resourcefulness.

"The Yan family began to become knowledgeable. It was after your grandmother got married that she passed on her talents and knowledge to her children and forced Yang'er's grandfather to study."

Cui Ming talked eloquently and couldn't stop talking about interesting things about his elders. "Yang'er's grandfather even ran away from home once."

Mu Tingxue chuckled.

Grandpa is a scumbag who doesn’t like studying!

I married a wife who was a top student and was forced to study by her, yet I ran away from home like a rebellious elementary school kid.

Yan Yang said: "Grandma is a bit more controlling."

Cui Ming nodded: "That's not true. When my brother-in-law was infatuated with a fireworks girl and wanted to take her as a concubine, my mother-in-law strictly prohibited her. She gave my brother-in-law a hard time and almost broke his legs and put him in solitary confinement."

Mu Tingxue was thoughtful: "Is she Renqing's biological mother?"

There are many rules in a large family, and scholars and common people do not intermarry, let alone an oiran who is a slave.

The older generation beat up the mandarin ducks, leading to the tragic death of the oiran Hongye. Renqing was bullied and abused in Xiaoxiang Shuiyun Pavilion for nearly 20 years before he was recognized back to the Yan family.

It is undeniable that grandma made a huge contribution to the Yan family. Without grandma, there would be no uncle Wu An, who is both civil and military, the talented right servant Shee, and the mother who listens to politics behind the curtain. Only the uncle and Mingguo have raised a man who is a man of power and military skills. Yan Yang, the most powerful official with double heights, has single-handedly improved the intellectual and cultural level of the descendants of the Yan family, bringing the entire family to the top!

However, it was precisely because my grandmother was a matron with strong executive ability and desire for control that she single-handedly caused the tragedy of Yan Renqing's mother and son.

Yan Yang looked at his fiancée, "The Yan family owes Renqing something, and I have been trying to find ways to make up for it."

Mu Tingxue finally understood why the child's father treated Renqing so favorably.

Renqing served as the salt transport envoy of Woyejiang and helped her manage the salt administration of Woyejiang. However, the child's father still retained Renqing's military rank in the Zhenbei Army and received salaries for both civil and military positions.

He is the head of the Yan family and is responsible for all the descendants of the Yan family.

Qihuang Palace.

Mu Tingxue brought roast duck, a specialty of China in the 21st century, to visit her mother.

On the large red sandalwood table with dragon and phoenix carvings near the window, there are cups, chopsticks and porcelain utensils. In the center is a huge silver plate with sliced ​​and tender Peking duck. Three jade bowls decorated with gold unicorns contain roast duck sauce, which is sweet wheat sauce.

It's early winter.

There is already a cold wind blowing outside.

The queen mother's palace is extremely warm because it is laid with warm earth dragons and consumes countless precious red charcoal. Even if she wears a thin skirt and walks barefoot on the cashmere carpet, she does not feel cold at all. Queen-level treatment , nothing more than that.

"The official slave from Dongchang Secret Report is pestering the regent again and almost caused Mrs. Mingguo to fall into the water."

Empress Dowager Yan held silver chopsticks in her hands and snorted, "The punishment is still too light."

"If it happens again, someone in the government and the public will criticize the mother for killing her indiscriminately."

Mu Tingxue did not support her mother's murder of Su Wanwan, but she jumped over the wall when she got angry. Although Shenwei Marquis Su Shixing was relieved of military power, the influence of the Southeast Su family cannot be underestimated. "This roast duck needs to be dipped in wheat sauce." Extremely delicious.”

She personally gave her mother a good slice and dipped it in the sauce to make it delicious.

Queen Mother Yan accidentally saw the jade bracelet on her daughter's slender wrist. She immediately smiled and said in a nostalgic tone: "Your grandma used to wear this bracelet."

She knew that Mrs. Mingguo passed this bracelet to her precious daughter, which meant that she could not wait to confirm her daughter's status as the next mistress of the Yan family before marriage.

Marrying back to the Yan family was indeed the most correct choice.

"Hmm~~This roast duck tastes great! It's ten times better than the one roasted in the imperial dining room!"

Yan Ya was full of praise for the Peking duck. She took the second and third slices and couldn't stop at all.

"Isn't grandma very powerful?"

Mu Tingxue and her mother were chatting about everyday things.

"Of course, she is not only the mother of the Ai family, but also the teacher of the Ai family." Queen Mother Yan was very respectful, "Your grandma taught us three brothers and sisters their lessons. Your grandpa often said that marrying her , it’s the smoke rising from the Yan family’s ancestral grave.”

Mu Tingxue also ate a piece and murmured, "No wonder my mother always spares some favor for the Nangong family in political affairs."

"When your grandma was alive, our relationship with the Nangong family was very harmonious."

Empress Dowager Yan snorted coldly, "Now, Nangongjie has been rebelling against us in the court all day long. Recently, he has been colluding with Li Fanhang to repair water conservancy for the three counties in the south? Huaizhou, which is suffering from drought, and Jingzhou, which has burst its embankments, have not yet been repaired. The weather in the three southern counties is going well, so why repair anything? Moreover, more than 60% of the land in the three southern counties belongs to Lijia and Nangong's family. They don't know how to pay for it themselves? They want to get public funds from the treasury managed by their daughter. And his My daughter Qian Guifei is acting like a monster in the harem every once in a while, Mingyue is sick again, and she has an inexplicable rash on her body..."
