Chapter 134

Anyi picked out two posts.One belongs to the head of the sixth-rank official department, and the other belongs to the seventh-rank Dali Temple judge. Of these two, one family has the highest official position among the people who took the initiative to submit posts to make friends at the moment, and the other belongs to the Tian family. The Dali Temple, which has a deep relationship, is a must.

"There is a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Neighbors have to give face. If people come to invite them with good intentions, we will be disliked if we don't go. But we can't go to every house, or we will be bored to death in the future." Anyi said Put those two posts aside, and then asked Mrs. An: "Which one do you think is better, grandma? Just pick the one you think is good and you like, and you can come and go often in the future." Unlike her purposeful interaction with people, Mrs. An lives here for a long time, and she needs one or two neighbors who are pleasing to each other to keep company.

Granny An followed her words and picked out two more favorites, and ordered someone to go and talk to them.

After the matter was settled, the grandfather and grandson talked about the events of these days one by one, and Mrs. An was about to praise Xie Mantang in three sentences: "He is really a good person. I thought that although a person like him is kind-hearted, He probably looks down on us in his heart. He is polite to us only because it is needed. I didn’t expect that you are not at home these days, and he will send people to ask every day. Whenever he hears that there is something to do, he immediately settles it quietly. It saved me a lot of effort and energy. Especially around the beginning of spring, I was ill, and I couldn’t help but ask someone to deliver a letter to you. I asked the doctor to give me the good medicine from their mansion, so that you can see me again. A few days ago, when your uncle and grandpa celebrated their birthday, he actually asked someone to prepare a gift, which is really thoughtful. "

An Yi wasn't too surprised, that's what Xie is like. If you want to eat other people's meat, you have to fatten them up first. It's not for anything else, just to make it taste sweet and not grit your teeth.Just when he wanted to fatten her up, since he had promised her to take good care of Mrs. An for her, he would definitely do what he said.Well, the effect of Xie's trick is not bad, no matter what his intentions are, she always benefits, and she is willing to use it for him.

After Mrs. An finished talking about Xie Mantang, she then talked about Anhou's mansion: "After the year, a steward came to Anhou's mansion. He looked so arrogant and disgusting. He said that he invited me to their mansion for a banquet, and asked when you would come back. , I didn't go and didn't respond, and he threw a few nasty words. I don't know why he suddenly thought of us?"

An Yi smiled and slowly talked about seeing Mrs. Anhou's wife Wen during the Chinese New Year. Mrs. An clapped her hands proudly and unhappily, and said contemptuously: "I'll just say it! That old woman's family is full of eyes The one that grows on the top of the head, how could it suddenly think of us! So it turns out, the Empress Dowager is really a good person, she deserves to make a fool of herself and be scolded!" Then she felt unsatisfactory: "Why don't you find her fault, slap her a few times, slap her What's wrong with her? That's called venting!"

Anyi laughed: "How can there be such a good fan? Although the Marquis An's Mansion has fallen, since the Holy Majesty has never won the title, it means that he still agrees with the achievements of Mr. An's chief assistant back then, and he also wants to guard against public opinion. The Empress Dowager has no reason. Calling veterans and widowed wives into the palace and doing insulting things without any reason is not acceptable. The censors are worried that they have nothing to do."

Old Madam An curled her lips in boredom, and looked at Anyi with bright eyes: "So, you are now a celebrity around the Empress Dowager, doesn't she want to invite us to be guests? Let's go!"

"Grandmother, it's not time yet. I've always kept the things I promised you in mind, but I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The queen mother's love is like dewdrops. Who can tell when it will disappear? Dad, the official You are humble, you can't protect us. Let's not be in a hurry, okay?" Anyi knew what the old lady was planning, but she thought she could take the opportunity to go to the Anhou Mansion to show off her power and show off the anger she had suffered in the past.But what is that?She is highly regarded by the queen mother, has been approved by the emperor, and has gained some fame, but compared with these meritorious families that have been run for many generations, her little power is pitifully insignificant. , Not talking about strategy is suicidal.

Mrs. An was just dazzled by the sudden honor and favor. After listening to An Yi's detailed explanation, she understood, and then remembered: "Liu Xiucai brought his wife here, and said that after you come back, let her come back. Someone go to his house and say something."

Anyi couldn't help laughing and said: "He is now the head of the Ministry of Industry of the sixth grade, and he is highly valued by Mrs. Cai, and his future is limitless. You always look through his old calendar, and be careful to make him annoyed and disrespect you. We are here in Beijing Li is not familiar with the place, so he needs to take care of him, so you can live in peace."

Old Madam An rolled her eyes and said: "No matter how high an official he is, he is still a poor scholar who brazenly lives in our family and shares our family's firewood and rice. If your father hadn't tightened his belt back then to help him He starved to death a long time ago, not to mention that when he came to Beijing, he had the audacity to borrow the little money left from our family! Although I bothered him for being shameless, I never kicked him out, did I? If he dares to disrespect me , I spread his ungratefulness everywhere! See how he has the face! Who dares to associate with him?"

An Yi knew that the old lady used to speak harshly, but actually knew the wind direction better than anyone else, so she didn't take her words seriously, and just sent someone to send a letter to the Liu family, politely saying that she came back from the palace Now, I asked Mrs. Liu Tang, who has only been in the door for more than a year, when she is free so that she can go to visit.The news came back very quickly, and Liu Yourun immediately stated that he would bring his wife and baby to visit Mrs. An after signing the letter tomorrow.

On the surface, Mrs. An didn't take it seriously, but she turned around and told the woman in charge behind An Yi's back to prepare dinner for the reception. She must greet the guests well and not be neglected.Seeing this, An Yi felt a little more at ease. In terms of world affairs, Mrs. An is not bad, and it's not bad to have such an old lady take care of these trivial matters for her.

The next day, Liu Yourun brought his young daughter-in-law, Tang Shi, who had just entered the house for more than a year, and happily came to the door with a fat baby who was born not long ago, and carefully prepared gifts of four colors.Anyi put a set of golden longevity locks produced by Ziwei Building on the fat baby, and gave Tang a box of self-made pills for health and beauty, and soon became closer to Tang, and also had some affairs with Liu Yourun An exchange was made, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Then An Yi walked over to several neighbors one by one in a low-key, modest and polite manner, and accompanied Granny An to visit old relatives, and then went to two small villages on the outskirts of Beijing to buy people, horses and cars. Cutting clothes and making jewelry, there is no free day.But what made her strange was that Xie Mantang never showed up, and the noble ladies she met in the palace did not send invitations to invite her to be friends, and the Anhou Mansion also did not invite anyone to visit.

It seemed that her reputation wasn't loud enough, and she wasn't worthy enough in the eyes of these people.An Yi is not in a hurry, these people will come when she walks a few more times into the Empress Dowager's Palace.
