The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 48

Seventh Lady soon entered the main courtyard.

The weather was getting colder, she was wearing the new clothes of Xianxiufang, a light brown brocade jacket covered with golden cloud patterns Ruyi buttons, matched with eight red silk skirts embroidered with silver flowers, and she was wearing a suet jade bracelet given by the eldest wife, She wears Dushan Jade Linglong on her waist, and a small goldfish Wufu Yuzhu flower on her head.

Because the clothes are brightly colored, they are only decorated with jade, which looks rich and elegant, compared to the shabby one half a year ago, they look like two different people.

Even though they look similar to Brother Nine, gradually they can tell the difference.

The child was very quiet, and there was an indescribable charm between his brows.

The eldest lady showed a faint smile.

"Where did you come from?"

she asked pleasantly.

"I was just practicing calligraphy in the room." Seventh Lady rolled her eyes.

In the past few days, Huang Xiuniang was busy embroidering some small things for Er Niangzi, so the afternoon class stopped.

When Wu Niangzi and Xu Fengjia went to Baifang Garden to play, Qi Niangzi didn't leave the courtyard and practiced calligraphy and embroidery in the house.

It is a ladylike demeanor.

The eldest wife began to think absent-mindedly, and did not answer Qin Niangzi's reply for a while.

Qin Niangzi was not in a hurry, she sat down neatly under the head of the eldest wife, her back was straight, like a green bamboo.

The eldest lady contemplated for a long time before she regained her composure.

For a while, there were so many thoughts, I didn't know where to start.

The dowry of the second lady, the temper of the elder, Shuangjiang next to the fourth aunt, and the three sisters in Huanshawu.

This is only a matter in Baifangyuan.

Outside Baifang Garden, there are Qin family, Wang family, Li family, Xu family...

"Lichun told me that she saw Feng Jia bullying you on the boat."

After thinking about it, the eldest wife spoke slowly, but what she said was an irrelevant topic.

Seventh Lady was taken aback for a moment, then immediately relieved.

After all, it's just a cruise ship, not an intricate maze.

Xu Fengjia and she were only in the hidden place beside the cabin and in the shadows, so they didn't attract everyone's attention.

Lichun is the chief maid, she must always look around the deck to make sure everyone is safe, and it is not surprising to see the embarrassing scene between her and Xu Fengjia.

In her capacity, it may be difficult to stop her with words... But telling the eldest wife is also a double-sided thing.

She showed a little bit of grievance.

This is not pretending.

Seventh Lady is not a saint, and no one would be very happy to be treated like this for no reason.

The eldest lady couldn't help smiling when she saw it.

After all, he is still a child, no matter how calm he is, there are times when he can't help it.

"Feng Jia has a noble status." She patted Seventh Lady comfortingly. "And he is very favored by the nobles in the palace. He has been in and out of the palace since he was a child, and he has cultivated a haughty temper that is clean and dust-free."

In Xu Fengjia's capacity, it is understandable to look down on the concubine daughters of the Yang family.

Aristocrats like Duke Pingguo Xu's family are not clans, they are better than clans. Since the founding of the country, generations have been armed with heavy troops. Although there are many dignitaries in the Great Qin Dynasty, there are very few who can distinguish themselves from the Xu family.

Xu Fengjia is also the only legitimate son, an iron-clad little prince, as long as he doesn't kill the king and father, the wealth and wealth in the future will fall into his hands... and those who come and go are all the dragons and phoenixes of the future, with status and status. Talented.

How could he like these little girls from the Yang family?

Seventh Lady lowered her head, and said carefully, "Xiao Qi knows... As a cousin, Brother Ninth will be able to make friends with him, and he will definitely get help in the future."

The Yang family is different from the Xu family. The Xu family is a hereditary military general, there is no major mistake, and wealth cannot be escaped.

The Yang family is a civil servant who has passed the examination. The status of the elder may give Brother Jiu some help, but the ups and downs of the official career in the future will also depend on Brother Jiu's own connections.

Don't say that Xu Fengjia is just embarrassing her a little, even if it is embarrassing Qi Niangzi greatly, I am afraid that the eldest wife will pretend not to see it.

The eldest lady nodded in satisfaction.

Qin Niangzi knows the general situation.

"Actually." She frowned thoughtfully, "Although Feng Jia is usually a bit arrogant, she has always been perfunctory in front of her relatives. I don't know what happened. When this child arrived in Suzhou, He actually changed his style."

Seventh Lady raised her eyebrows and waited quietly for the eldest lady to continue.

"Speaking of which, he's going to Suzhou this time, and it's a bit weird." The eldest lady seemed to be talking to herself, and it seemed to be chatting with Qin Niangzi. "In his capacity, he has been away from the capital for many years in order to alarm the emperor and empress."

Qin Niangzi also heard that Xu Fengjia was accompanied by the prince.

Although Xu Fengjia is rebellious, she obviously doesn't go too far in absurdity.

Otherwise, the emperor and the empress can't rest assured that he can be the accompanying student of the prince.

Knowing that Mrs. Xu would stay in Jiangnan for several months, he still sneaked out and followed his mother.

Mrs. Xu just reprimanded a few more words, then followed suit and took her son to the south of the Yangtze River.

It is absolutely possible to drop Xu Fengjia at the nearby port, and then send someone back to Beijing to report and take Xu Fengjia back.

As soon as I arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, I prayed to God and worshiped Buddha everywhere...

Ancient times are different from modern times. In this ignorant era, the theory of gods and Buddhas is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many people are willing to pray before gods and Buddhas when they have something to worry about.

Mrs. Xu obviously has something on her mind.

Combined with Wu Niangzi's words, I'm afraid this worry has something to do with Xu Fengjia.

Seventh Lady knew how to answer.

"The Xu family has a big business." She said softly. "Duke Ping has been fighting abroad for a few years... Come to think of it, the Xu family is also a bad debt."

The eldest lady couldn't help showing a slight smile on her brows.

People are like that.

The eldest lady has a lot of worries in her heart. Although she doesn't say anything, she will naturally feel relieved when she hears that Mrs. Xu is not doing well.

Seventh Lady just pretended she didn't see it.

"But my mother has been in Beijing for a few months, so I'm afraid she knows more than Xiao Qi." She said tactfully.

No matter how capable Qin Niangzi is, she is only a child and has lived in Suzhou all year round, so she must not know much about the affairs of her relatives in the capital.

"I only visited Pingguo's mansion once." The eldest wife shook her head. "With a family like Xu's, even if the bottom is rotten, it's still decent in face."

Don't talk about others, even the Yang family is usually friendly on the outside, and the real confrontation is always in the dark.

Seventh Lady nodded and smiled, but said nothing.

The eldest lady was a little embarrassed.

Barely calling Qinianzi to come, just to ask a few questions about Xu's family-Qinianzi couldn't answer at all, and it was a bit of a fuss.

"Your third aunt has always wanted to tell Feng Jia about Fifth Lady." She inevitably revealed the inside information. "but……"

If Mrs. Xu and Xu Fengjia's mother and son's status in the Xu family is not stable, the eldest wife certainly doesn't want to marry her daughter to suffer.

Seventh Lady raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Immediately he calmed down again.

Although there is no reason to discuss this matter with the unmarried daughter, but the eldest wife has few people to rely on, and the elder is separated from her, I am afraid that there is really no one to discuss it with.

But this kind of thing is not something she can casually interrupt.

"Fifth Sister is only ten years old!" She said with a smile, "There is no one who promised to kiss so early."

Daqin's daughters usually talk about marriage in the [-]th and [-]th, and get married in the [-]th and [-]th.

The eldest wife didn't expect Qin Niangzi to give her any better advice on this matter, so she nodded and echoed absent-mindedly, "They're all smaller."

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but sighed.

"Your father is serious about getting into trouble with the main courtyard these days."

Qin Niangzi tasted the frustration in the eldest wife's tone.

This is the real purpose of the eldest wife to find her.

With the eldest wife's temperament, I'm afraid it would be difficult to bow her head and ask her advice to this little concubine.

You can see her temperament just by watching the eldest wife lose her temper because the second lady hid brother Jiu and made her show timidity in front of Mrs. Xu.

Unless she is recognized as one of her own, she will not be willing to show weakness in front of Seventh Lady.

Seven Lady sighed involuntarily.

The first lady was raised by the eldest wife herself, so of course there will be no estrangement between the two.She is the first child brought up by the eldest wife, and in terms of affection, she is not much different from her own.

It's different for me, I didn't enter the main courtyard until I was seven years old... Don't even think about this innate mother-daughter relationship.
