Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Yingchun was also very helpless, since the edict was issued by the emperor, the second sister-in-law could not get up, she and her wife tried to persuade the grandmother to relax almost every day.

Some of the words that came out of the grandmother's mouth were just missing Aunt Min, while others had the meaning of resenting the Lin family and the Su family.

The Su family is the mother's family of the Empress. Su Shangshu was transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Cheng Engong, who has been in the cabinet for nearly ten years.The Duke of Chu, who was also named Lin Shangshu of the Lin family, will take up the post of Minister of the Household Department next year.

This official household honors soldiers and criminal workers, the official department is the first and the household department is second, the Su Lin family are both dukes, and there is a queen in the palace, the Jia family does not make good friends with these two families, but it cannot be offended took them.

Besides, the marriage of Su Lin's family was bestowed by the Holy Majesty, so it's fine for the grandmother to complain about other things. Doesn't it mean that she is dissatisfied with the Holy Majesty's decision to complain about this marriage?

Thinking of this, Yingchun sighed deeply, and thought to herself, is it really like what his wife complained in private, grandma is getting older, is it because she is sad and confused this time?

However, she is a granddaughter, and she only has the duty to honor her grandmother, and she has no choice but to try her best to persuade her.

Besides, when the old man and the wife were not caring about her, it was the grandmother and the second aunt and the second sister-in-law who took care of her. The grandmother distributed things to the grandchildren and never forgot her.

Yingchun remembered Jia's mother's affection in her heart, thought over what she had said several times, and finally came up with a new sentence or two.

The girls went to look for Yuanyang again. Yuanyang lived outside the mansion. When they came, Mrs. Xing and Yingchun had been persuading her for half a day.

Yuanyang has served Jiamu for more than ten years, and she is more caring than all the daughters-in-law and granddaughters, and she also understands what Jiamu eats.She persuaded a few words and it really helped, making Jiamu gradually stop crying.

Yingchun took the opportunity to restrain the maids not to leak any news, otherwise they would offend the emperor and the Lin family of the Su family, making it difficult for the Jia family, and they would not have a place to bury them, so the maids would only agree to do so.

Mrs. Xing pulled Yingchun, looked back at Jiamu and Yuanyang, and whispered: "Second girl, the old lady is getting older and more confused, and there is no one reliable around her."

"Why don't we invite Yuanyang back to serve the old lady for a few years, and reward her heavily after the matter is over."

Yingchun thought for a while, but she didn't have a good idea.Thinking that although my wife is much better now, it is not very reliable after all. The second sister-in-law is pregnant and she will not be disturbed. She... the wedding is only half a year away, and she is about to leave the cabinet, so I have to say: "Then madam, I will ask the second sister-in-law ?”

Mrs. Xing nodded and said: "Don't ask girl Feng, she is not feeling well, I'll send someone to ask Ping'er."

The mother and daughter discussed and agreed, and Ping'er also replied that the second grandma thought it was very good, and they asked what Yuanyang meant, and said that they would sign a ten-year contract with Yuanyang, and they would talk to the old lady to relieve boredom, and they would not need her to serve them. Open an annual record of one hundred silver denarii.

Because ordinary families can't get a nanny from the palace, and they want their daughter to be raised by a husband, it is gradually becoming a trend in Beijing to hire a nanny or a commoner woman to start the year.

Most of the middle or small households employ the nanny or maids released by the big households for the elderly. The annual case ranges from 200 taels to 40 taels.

The annual rule of Jia's mansion to give Yuanyang a hundred silver is not too small to only talk with the old lady.

The mandarin ducks, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are all confused, thinking in their hearts that if it wasn't for the old lady, she would never have such a good life.

She regarded the old lady as a benefactor, so she was naturally very willing, and said that she didn't want the annual rules, but was persuaded by Yingchun to take it.

She went home and told her in-laws and her husband that her in-laws would get a hundred silver a year just for talking, and they were beside the old lady, very decent, so naturally they were willing.

The mandarin duck's husband was carefully selected by Wang Xifeng. Her husband's family was a carpenter for generations, and they opened a carpenter's shop.

They saw that the mandarin ducks had a generous dowry, that they were born well, and that the female housekeeper was able to do everything, that she was soft-tempered but strong, and that she could even read a few words, so they were very satisfied.Now that Yuanyang has returned to Jia's mansion to be a nanny, she treats her with everything.

Because Yuanyang's surname is Jin, when she returned to Jiamu's side, everyone called her "Mommy Jin".

Now that the mandarin ducks around Jia Mu came back to persuade her, she gradually calmed down a bit, and the mandarin ducks called to accompany Jia Mu to talk, but in fact they gradually took over the affairs around Jia Mu. No longer jumping around at every turn.

In the main courtyard of Rongxi Hall, Ping'er handed Wang Xifeng a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile: "It's quiet now, grandma can let go of her worries."

Wang Xifeng took a sip of the tea, looked at Ping'er and asked with a smile, "Silly girl, do you think this is over?"

"Nowadays, the government houses of various countries have not been repaired. In the winter, it is snowing, and it is not easy to start construction. The old lady has been arguing for a month, but it is meaningless, so it is quiet for the time being. When the Duke of Yan comes back next spring, he will take office. The old lady has to make a few more fusses."

"The backyard of our house is connected to the garden. Since the garden belongs to the Duke of Yan, it has to be separated from our house. The wall is repaired and it must not be passed on to the old lady's yard?"

Wang Xifeng lowered his head and drank a few more sips of tea, Ping'er said: "Speaking of which, this garden was originally built for the concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine to save her relatives. It cost a million 80 silver and wasted a lot of energy. Now it's in someone else's house, it's me I also have some thoughts in my heart."

Putting the teacup in Ping'er's hand, Wang Xifeng shook his head and said: "Ping'er, others are just confused, you are the first trustworthy person around me, you must not be confused."

Ping'er hurriedly said: "Grandma please advise."

Wang Xifeng said: "We have already donated this garden and exchanged it for His Majesty's rewards and rewards. It is His Majesty's pleasure to distribute this garden to anyone, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Now it's better to give it to the Duke of Chu's family than to someone else's family. After all, Miss Lin has our family's blood. For Miss Lin's sake, the neighbor relationship will not be bad. I have been to the Lin family in the past few years. Twice, their family is very strict, as long as we treat people with courtesy, it won't be like that over there."

"Secondly, Duke Chu is very popular now. As long as the Lin family is in court, the emperor will remember his family. Even if the Lin family is not in court, and Mrs. Su is still here, the emperor will never forget his family."

"Since we can't forget his family, we will think that his family's garden was originally donated by our family. At least we can save more face in front of the emperor. Song Guogong and Wei Guogong are both in Qinghai, and Liang Guogong is in Bohai Sea. In Beijing, how can I give it to the Duke of Chu?"

Wang Xifeng analyzed it like this for a while, and Ping'er sighed: "It's still grandma who is thoughtful."

"It's just that this is reasonable, but it's not easy to tell the old lady. When Chu Guogong moves into the next door, there will be a banquet in the garden, and the sound of silk, bamboo and opera will be heard, and the old lady will feel unhappy again."

Wang Xifeng sighed: "There is no way to do this. The old lady is on the edge of her horn. She can't figure it out by herself, and it's useless for others to say ten thousand words."

"Go ahead, as long as you don't make a big fuss, it's fine. Although the old lady has lost her temper, she still understands in her heart. She will only talk about these things at home, and will never show them outside."

"If you think about it, the old lady has lived to be 71 years old this year. Apart from being more partial to the couple, what else is not doing well? If we don't have the support of the old lady in our family, we probably won't be any better than the other side. "

Ping'er knew in her heart that Wang Xifeng was talking about the former Ning Mansion, so she nodded silently.

Wang Xifeng said again: "Although I am a member of the first house, I don't want the old lady to be partial to the second house, but it's like our master used to be. Hey, I'm a mother, and I can't understand it."

Ping'er also sighed: "That's true. It's just that the master has been in prison once and ate the board, so he has a little fear. If not, how can grandma feel so relieved now?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I have to take advantage of the time of giving birth to this child to save my worries for two years. I will go out of the mountain when he is one year old. The old lady will figure it out anyway."

She waved at Ping'er again, and said in a low voice: "The old lady always thinks what would happen if Aunt Min was still there, but she never thought that if Aunt Min was still there, Duke Chu didn't marry Mrs. Su, and he probably wouldn't either." He has become the Duke of the country."

Ping'er wondered, "Grandma, what do you mean?"

Wang Xifeng pulled her to sit next to her, and said to her carefully: "You think, when the Holy Majesty was going to bestow a marriage on the Duke of Chu, at that time the Duke of Chu was already the second-rank censor of Youdu, and Aunt Min didn't leave any son behind. , there is only one daughter, even if it is a continuation, a girl from a fourth or fifth grade family is worthy of it."

"But the Holy Majesty is not afraid of trouble, and entered Mrs. Su into the Su family tree and gave her a marriage. If you think about it, isn't it because the Emperor wanted Chu Guogong to be a relative of his family, so that he could use him?"

"In the past, I didn't understand these political affairs, and you didn't understand them either. In recent years, the more I think about them, the more interesting they become."

Wang Xifeng said with bright eyes: "The old lady cried on the day the decree was issued, so I thought about it. You said that if the emperor really loves Mrs. Su and treats her as his own sister, he will not enter her into the Su family tree and marry her to Chu. Duke, after all, it is a sequel. Finding a young talent who is married for the first time may not be much worse than Chu Guogong."

"The emperor wants to marry a girl from Duke Cheng'en's family to Duke Chu. Isn't that just a way to stabilize Aunt Min's background? If it were a girl with a slightly lower background, she might not be able to have the confidence to cut off contact with our family directly... "

Ping'er was stunned for a while, only staring at Wang Xifeng in a daze.

Wang Xifeng pushed her away with a smile: "Why, you don't believe what I said?"

Ping'er shook his head hastily, and Wang Xifeng smiled again: "Think about why I care so little about you? Isn't it just that there are some things that I didn't tell you clearly, and you know what I mean, so you can do it beautifully so that I don't worry?"

"Let me say something to offend Mrs. Su in private. She was the most useful person by the empress's side back then. When it comes to figuring out what to do, only I know better than me."

Ping'er was stunned for a long time, and finally murmured: "Grandma, so according to grandma, isn't it eight or nine years ago that the Holy One... just... didn't like our family?"

Wang Xifeng's expression darkened, and he sighed softly: "One day the emperor and one courtier, in those years our house was somewhat oriented toward the emperor, but in the end it still aroused the emperor's taboo, probably because of the lack of success of the descendants."

Ping'er was a little dizzy all over, and suddenly grasped the key point and asked: "Grandma, then the emperor has always favored the concubine Xian all these years, why?"

Wang Xifeng pointed at her again and said: "You just think about why the empress has not been pregnant for a few years, and it was not until last year that she regained her favor that there was no news this year."

The author has something to say:

Ping'er: dumbfounded
