Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 195 Posts
It wasn't until late at night that the family's banquet was over.Xia Bai and Xia Hong are only responsible for serving tea and water, and they don't do many things.When Xu Mujing thought about going to bed, he found Yinhua sitting on the bed, smiling and pointing to the couch.

"I can't sleep anymore, you sleep there."

Seeing the little tiger sleeping inside, Xu Mu wanted to say that the three of them could still sleep together, but seeing that Yinhua's complexion was not looking good, he obediently went to sleep on the couch.If it was before, he might not understand the reason for Yinhua's temper. In his opinion, it is not good for a family to be together.But in the past few days in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he has seen the case of the mother-in-law who abused the daughter-in-law and was poisoned to death by the daughter-in-law, and also the case of the mother-in-law forcing the son to divorce his wife. He seems to understand that it is difficult for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along well, even his colleagues It is said that nine out of ten pairs of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at odds, and this time with the addition of a younger sister, the family will be even more at odds.

He didn't know why Xu Lan suddenly wanted to go to the capital. He still knew a little about his younger sister, and he probably wanted to take advantage of Yinhua and the Hou's mansion while her parents were in the capital.He didn't know what to do, so he had to work hard for Yinhua to deal with it.

In this way, Xu Lan's family stayed temporarily at Xu Mu's house, and Yan Xiucai would go to the capital to see around in the spare time, thinking about whether he should stay in the capital to study.

Zhuhua knew about Xu Lan's family's coming to Beijing that day, and a few days later, taking advantage of Xiaoxiong's three-month-old birthday, she posted a post to invite Yinhua to Pingwang's mansion as a guest.On Tuantuan's third birthday a few days ago, she didn't invite Yinhua's family over, and later she simply didn't even invite Mrs. Sun, and the whole family ate a bowl to celebrate their birthday.

Usually, when two sisters meet, they don't need any posts, they just send someone to tell them in advance.When Yinhua saw Zhuhua's style, she was quite familiar with it.

On the day that Zhuhua wrote on the post, Yinhua took Xu Lan and Xu's mother, who wanted to come with her, to Pingwang's mansion. Xu's father thought it was a party at their women's house, so he didn't come together.

Xu's father and Xu's mother had been to the Marquis's Mansion before, and it was really magnificent. There is such a big pond in the house, and the yard alone is bigger than their old house, and the servants inside are all dressed in neat clothes. The material was better than the ones the two of them wore in the capital. Fortunately, Yinhua temporarily added new clothes for the two of them, so they didn't lose face.

This time when we arrived at the palace, Xu's mother saw it, and it was bigger than the Hou's mansion. Zhuhua's family only had a few people, could they live here?It was the first time for Xu Lan to visit such a large palace. When she entered, she was almost tripped by the threshold, and the child in her arms almost fell down.

Puchi, someone nearby laughed, Xu Lan blushed, and didn't dare to see who made the laugh, Xu's mother also glared at her, why did she give birth to such a thing that can't be put on the table.But when she turned her head and saw the black-faced sergeant at the door staring at the two of them, her calf trembled a little. She even wanted to stop Yinhua and ask them if they could go in. This is the emperor's son's house. Unexpectedly, Yinhua had already stepped forward to chat with Qiuchu who came to pick her up at the door, Xia Hong was beside her, Xia Bai was also standing beside her with a bear basket, no one cared about them.

When Yinhua was about to go in, she turned her head and saw Xu's mother, and asked with some puzzlement: "Grandma, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Mother Xu hurriedly stepped forward to follow Yinhua.

Yinhua turned her body sideways and let her walk in front, after all, she was the elder.When they got to the living room, Zhuhua was sitting upright, smiling narrowly at Yinhua.Seeing that she was wearing a luxurious peony embroidered dress with tufted branches, even her head and face were covered in a complete set, and she also wore Bu Yao, which she usually dislikes the most, she also felt amused in her heart.

"The woman pays her respects to the princess." Yinhua saluted and winked at Xu Lan.It's a pity that Xu Lan's eyes were fixed on Zhuhua, and she didn't look at her at all. It was Xu's mother who gave her a hand, and she bowed like Yinhua.

"Excuse me, why should my relatives be polite?" Zhuhua waved her hands with a suppressed smile, and then ordered: "Set up a table and serve tea."

"Yes, princess."

When the three of them were seated, Zhuhua looked at Mother Xu, and said gently: "I heard that my aunt came to Beijing a few years ago, and I have always wanted to come to see her. It's just that my concubine just gave birth, so it's inconvenient to travel, but I asked my aunt to come to the palace first. It's the junior's." no."

"Don't dare." Xu's mother said quickly, and said at the right time: "Where is your child, I even brought a meeting gift."

"Auntie, you are welcome." Zhuhua smiled slightly, and said to Qiushi: "Go and see if the second miss is awake, and then go and invite the eldest miss."

"Yes, princess."

After Qiushi left, she looked at Yinhua, "Second Sister, where is Little Bear, hurry up and hug me."

The Yinhua man didn't move either, he just glanced at Xia Bai, Xia Bai held the basket in front of him, and exchanged a glance with Zhuhua and smiled.Zhuhua pursed her lips, picked up the wooden box beside her, opened it, and took out a gold collar with auspicious cloud pattern with a jade pendant hanging on the little bear's neck.

"Xiong, this is what Third Aunt gave you."

"Third Sister, this gift is too expensive." Yinhua said in panic on her seat.

"Second sister, don't refuse, this is my little sister's kindness." Zhuhua pursed her lips again as she said, and then looked at the two children standing behind Xu Lan, "This is the child of Mrs. Yan's family, right? It's so well-groomed."

Xu Lan's mouth trembled, but she didn't really want to answer, when Qiudong and Qiuxia came in with Tuanyuanyuan, she took the opportunity to say: "Our children look rustic, how can the children of the princess's family be neat."

Zhuhua smiled and said, "Miss Yan really likes to joke."

Xu Lan didn't know where she was joking, anyway, Zhuhua smiled, and she also smiled, feeling a little guilty.Xu's mother is more hollow than her. Compared with what Zhuhua gave to Xiaoxiong, hers are not worth mentioning at all. She regrets not listening to the old man's advice and paying more when she bought it.Just as she was regretting, she listened to Zhuhua asking her child to come up to meet her.

Although Tuantuan didn't know why she put on such expensive clothes without entering the palace, she stepped forward in a well-mannered manner.

"Greetings to Grandma Xu and Aunt Xu."

"No need." Xu's mother shook her head again and again, glanced at Xu Lan and the big girl behind her, and didn't know what to say.After hesitating, she took out the gift she bought from her bosom, and Mother Xu waved to Tuantuan, saying, "Good boy, come here, Grandma Xu bought you a bracelet."

Mother Xu opened the cloth bag and took out a silver bracelet for Tuantuan to wear, and handed another one for Tuantuan to hold, "This is for your sister."

"Thank you Grandma Xu." After saluting, Tuantuan turned around and put the bracelet in the basket beside Yuanyuan who was sleeping.

When Xu's mother looked over, she found that the girl carrying the sleeping basket in the palace was wearing gold bracelets, and her face was even hotter.

Feeling the gaze, Qiu Xia raised the corner of her mouth, thankful that she borrowed a bracelet from sister Qiu Chu in advance, so that she didn't lose face to the palace.The day before, the concubine had secretly told them that there were foreign guests today, so they should cheer up and dress more expensively, so as not to lose their status.Qiu Xia doesn't know how to dress up so that she doesn't lose her share. She thinks that the clothes and jewelry distributed by the palace every season are good enough, but they dare not disobey the orders given by the princess herself, so she can only borrow jewelry from Qiu Chu. .

When Qiuxia took the child to Yinhua's place to show her her new niece, someone came in with three sets of four treasures of the study.Zhuhua nodded, then looked at Xu Lan and said, "I heard that Yan's family is a family of farming and studying, and this small gift will be useful in the future."

"Thank you, Princess." Xu Lan nodded, but felt a little disgusted in her heart. What's the use of the Four Treasures of the Study? They can't be eaten or drunk.

"This is Zhuge brush from Xuancheng, ink from Li Tinggui from Huizhou, Chengxintang paper and Longwei inkstone," said Qiu Jian, holding the Four Treasures of the Study.

Xu Lan nodded ignorantly, she didn't remember what the other party said.

Zhuhua didn't care either, so she said to Tuantuan who was obediently standing beside her, "Your little tiger brother has gone to school, how about you go play with sister Yan's family today?"

Tuantuan nodded obediently, stepped forward and said to Sister Yan, "Sister, let's go play over there."

Yan Daya nodded timidly, she really wanted to play with this pink and jade-carved little sister, but she couldn't continue with the first sentence that the little sister spoke.

"I wonder what books my sister has read recently?"

Hearing Zhuhua serving tea in the distance, her hands trembled, and I don't know where Tuantuan learned this sentence, it was a divine assist.

In fact, Tuantuan heard this from Big Goose chatting with her cousin of the Meng family, and she remembered it silently. Now that she saw this elder sister who was older than her, and saw that the meeting gift from Zhuhua was the Four Treasures of the Study, she just remembered it. I thought she had read the book too.She didn't know that her question turned the young lady down. Not only did the young lady not answer, she even cried.

Even though Tuantuan was young, he was still calm, so he asked, "Sister Yan, what's wrong with you, but why are you feeling uncomfortable?"

As soon as she asked, Yan Daya ran to Xu Lan crying and hugged Xu Lan's thigh.Tuantuan was stunned, looked at Zhuhua, saw Zhuhua waving at her, and returned to her side.

"Maybe it's your sister from the Yan family who is serious about her life and doesn't want to go play elsewhere. Be good, go and see your little brother Xiong."

Tuantuan nodded, and went to look at Little Bear and Yuanyuan side by side.

Xu Lan coaxed and frightened her, but she finally stopped her tears. She looked apologetically at the princess who was chatting with Xu's mother about the homework.Zhuhua smiled at her kindly, and said to her: "The child is young, so he must be born. At the beginning of autumn, bring some dim sum fruits for the children to taste."

"Yes, princess."

When a table of snacks was set up in the side hall at the beginning of autumn, Da Lang and Day Ya ran over immediately, and there was a burst of ping-pong-pong sound on the table, which made Zhuhua, who was talking in the main hall, raise his eyelids.Xu Lan, who originally wanted to go to eat together, was a little embarrassed, after all, children younger than her family were so well-behaved, but maybe they didn't care for eating too much good food.

Soon it was time for the meal, and all the snacks were withdrawn.Because they are all female relatives and children, they do not share tables, but eat at the same table.After the dishes were served, there were two pairs of chopsticks in front of everyone. Yinhua knew that a pair of chopsticks were serving chopsticks, which were used by servants to help pick up the dishes, but Mother Xu and Xu Lan didn't understand.The two of them didn't know until someone behind them took chopsticks and said that they would help them pick up vegetables.

In this way, naturally no one would grab the food, and Da Lang and Da Ya ate their lunch very well, although the table was full of rice grains, which made the waiters behind them frown with contempt.Zhuhua would not have seen this scene, but Xu Lan saw it. She didn't think it was a big deal before. It is a good thing for children to eat well. Some children have to be fed by adults if they refuse to eat well. Now this In contrast, she did find that her children were not well behaved.

This time, in order to entertain them, more effort was put into the dishes on the table than usual in Prince Ping's Mansion. Looking at the exquisitely styled dishes one after another obviously made people's index fingers wide open, but Xu's mother and Xu Lan couldn't finish it.Zhuhua and Yinhua moved gracefully, and they ate without making a sound. They didn't realize it before, but now, they look like girls from the countryside.

When Xu Mu was just in high school, Xu Lan thought she was the younger sister of Jinshi, so she also pretended to be a young lady, but now compared with Zhuhua and Yinhua, she was really a joke at that time.After she got married, she didn't cover up many of her bad habits that were restrained. She thought that she didn't have to pretend to be married anymore, but look at the others, the style of this lady is from the same village, no matter how the difference is so big?
After eating, they sat for a while and then left. Before leaving, Zhuhua asked someone to prepare a gift.But when no one was paying attention when they were walking, she quietly called Yin Hua, ran to her side and whispered in a small step: "The gold collar is my gift to Little Bear in advance for his first birthday."

"You cheapskate." Yinhua couldn't help but give her a white look, and quickly followed Mother Xu and the others.

Xu Lan restrained herself for a while when she went back, but it was not so easy for her to change.She lived with Xu's father and Xu's mother in the capital, Yinhua couldn't say anything to drive them away, and the two families lived in peace for a while.

One day, when Xu Mu rested, the little tiger didn't have to go to school, so he played at home.On rainy days, the whole family didn't want to go out, so they all stayed in the house of Xu's father and Xu's mother, doing sewing and drinking tea together.Xu Lan likes this kind of life. She doesn't have to do any housework, and doesn't have to look at her mother-in-law's face. How comfortable it is, even if Xu's mother says a few words sometimes, it's nothing.It's just that she is at ease, but Yinhua is uncomfortable in various ways.

The whole family was staying happily, when the little tiger suddenly rushed in and plunged into Yinhua's arms with his mouth flattened.

"What's the matter, did you quarrel with your sister?" Yinhua asked in a good voice, but she thought in her heart, how can she still lose in an argument with a little girl, it's too embarrassing for her.

The little tiger raised his head and said with tears in his eyes, "Mother, I don't like my sister, don't let her marry me."
