Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Zhao Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to his wife: "Madam, you have worked hard and accomplished a lot. I can't thank you enough."

Faced with her husband's attentive show of kindness, Ms. Xie smiled faintly and replied: "My husband is so complimentary. It is my duty to share your worries with you."

With that said, Mrs. Xie put down her jade chopsticks, stood up and sat down with Pingyang to chat. Zhao Xuan also sat on one side, chiming in every word.

Mrs. Xie glanced at her husband and said, "I'll discuss cousin Pei's marriage with Pingyang. What are you doing here? Just go out for a walk."

Zhao Xuan looked at his wife, his eyes full of tenderness, and replied with a smile: "Since it is related to my cousin's marriage, I will also help the staff. You can tell me what you have to say, and I will listen."

Mrs. Xie glared at her husband and said, "We are talking like women here, and you are in the way. Didn't Meng just send people to look for her again and again? Just go over to her place and have a look."

Zhao Xuan saw that his wife had chased her away, and he could no longer rely on her, so he got up and walked out.

Seeing his brother leaving, Pingyang smiled and teased Mr. Xie, "How can you be like you and chase people away? Aren't you afraid of this and will you indulge the Meng family even more?"

Xie took a sip of tea carefully and said nonchalantly: "No matter how capable she is, she can still get past me."

Pingyang was naturally aware of the affairs in her brother and sister-in-law's house. When Meng was mentioned, she asked Xie, "You want to take Meng's child under your knees to raise her. Didn't she make a fuss?"

"No! How can we not make a fuss." Mrs. Xie fiddled with the jade bracelet in her hand and said casually: "It's just a fuss with your brother. She doesn't have the guts to make fuss in front of me. I am the royal wife of the royal family. She can't make me go. She can do whatever she likes, as long as she doesn't put pressure on me and let her do whatever she wants, I don't want to worry about it. I just want her to give birth to the child and adopt it, haha, of course. If it’s a girl, I will allow her to raise her by herself.”

Pingyang sighed: "I really admire you. Such a heart and skill are not matched by ordinary women. If it were me, facing Meng like this all day long, I would be **** to death."

"If you are really angry to death, you have really made people happy." After saying that, Mrs. Xie poured tea for Pingyang and said: "That's it, let's get down to business. There are some people who are going around her. What's the meaning."

"How about the girl in the fifth room of Yongyihou's house that you mentioned last time? Does she like cousin Pei?"

Pingyang replied: "I have entrusted this matter to my eldest sister-in-law. In terms of family background, Cousin Pei is naturally not as good as Yongyi Houfu, but their fifth wife also has a crush on Cousin Pei. My eldest sister-in-law She said that her fifth brother and sister wanted to find some time to see each other."

Mrs. Xie held her slightly bulging belly and replied with a smile: "His family is quite understanding. Although cousin Pei is low in family background, he is talented and is highly valued by His Majesty. He will definitely have a bright future in the future. Compared with , but it is much more helpful than those high-ranking sects in name only."

When it comes to human nature, Xie is very familiar with it. Yongyi Hou Mansion does care about Pei Yunqian's future, but the reason why Xie is so enthusiastic about Pei Yunqian's future is naturally because he has his own plans.

Although she is the eldest daughter-in-law of Prince Yong's palace, she should have to worry about it, but speaking of it, Pei Yunqian is just a cousin. She could just go through the motions, and there is no need to be so dedicated. She is just as smart as Xie, so I saw Pei Yunqian as a person who could be helpful to the palace.

Pei Yunqian has both ability and political integrity, and sooner or later he will become a close minister of the emperor. More importantly, he knows how to repay kindness and values ​​affection and righteousness.

After hearing Pingyang's words, Mrs. Xie quickly replied: "Since my aunt is no longer here and my uncle is not in the capital, your eldest brother and I will handle cousin Pei's marriage. Since the Xu family agrees, you can find an opportunity." , when the time comes, our two families will just get together to see each other."

Saying that, Mrs. Xie took a sip of tea and said, "It's just that I want your sister-in-law to be the matchmaker. Is that feasible?" Pingyang replied: "Brother Kun's marriage to the Liu family has been decided, and we are going through the six rites. My sister-in-law is very busy these days, she can just handle this matter, I will leave it to someone else to be the matchmaker."

Mrs. Xie agreed, and the two of them had discussed it well. After Pingyang left, Mrs. Xie ordered Yanzhi: "Go to the warehouse and find two pieces of solid color from the Su embroidery we brought from Yizhou, and then take my pieces." Bring the gem box as well, let me pick through it."

The little girl took the order and left. After a while, several servants followed Xie's instructions and fetched the things they wanted.

Mr. Xie looked through the silks and satins, selected two pieces, opened the mahogany and gem box, and rummaged through them carefully.

Mr. Xie was busy here when Zhao Xuan came in from outside. He entered the house, took off his cloak, stretched out his hands on the fireplace to warm his cold hands, and asked his wife: "It's so late, are you looking for these things?" Come out, who do you want to send?"

Xie raised her eyes to look at her husband and asked, "Why are you back again?"

Zhao Xuan rubbed his warmed hands, then sat down opposite his wife and said with a smile, "What's the matter? You don't welcome my husband back?"

Ms. Xie smiled and glared at her husband: "I'm busy and I don't have time to grind my teeth with you."

Zhao Xuan glanced at the things his wife picked out and asked, "Who are you giving these things to?"

Xie replied: "Didn't my sister-in-law from the Pingyang family tell her cousin Pei about her natal cousin? I thought about giving her a gift to express my gratitude."

Zhao Xuan said disdainfully: "The two sides haven't looked at each other yet, and there's nothing wrong with them. There's no need for that."

Ms. Xie raised her head, looked at her husband, and explained patiently: "Since they have taken the initiative to help, we should show our appreciation. Besides, Li Xian is now an important minister in the cabinet, and his eldest son is also a promising young man. I and I It is always beneficial to have a few friends with Xu."

Zhao Xuan was confused and asked: "Didn't you say that we should keep a low profile and avoid suspicion? I said that I wanted to contact my old friends, but you didn't allow it. Why do you suddenly want to go out with Mrs. Xu now?"

Xie replied: "Li Xian is now only one step away from being the chief minister of the cabinet. In the future, he will be the assistant minister below one person and above ten thousand people. Of those old friends you mentioned, which one can compare with Li Xian."

As he spoke, Xie picked out two pieces of jade from the gem box and put them aside: "Besides, they have helped us, so it is normal for me to give them some small gifts."

After hearing what his wife said, Zhao Xuan’s eyes fell on the jade that his wife had selected, and he suggested: “If you want to give it away, you should give it something good. These seem to be too frivolous.”

Mrs. Xie replied: "Cousin Pei's affairs have not yet been completed. The gift he sent is too heavy, but it seems that we are deliberately." As she said that, she picked up the jade she selected, played with it in her hands and said, "Such a thing, although it is not The most expensive one, but it happens to be that the eldest son of his family is getting engaged, and he needs jade like this to make various jade ornaments, so it is just right to send this over."

Zhao Xuan heard this and praised: "Madam is still thoughtful."
