The nanny from Chengenhou Mansion?
Yang Haiyan and others looked at each other, and then she said: "That should be the grandma of the Shen family, right?"
Sister Du said: "Of course, there is only one family in Chengenhou Mansion now. When the new emperor ascended the throne, Queen Shen's family became Chengenhou Mansion. The original Chengenhou Mansion was the emperor's maternal family, After he ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Duke Cheng'en. "The emperor is the legitimate son of the late emperor and the late empress.
If there is one most powerful family in the capital besides the four surnamed families, the maternal families of the four princes, it is the Wang family of Chengen Palace. The Wang family has no children in the harem.
Yang Haiyan said: "I'm invited, but I don't know where that nanny is from."
Mrs. Qu said: "It may be about Madam Shen's birthday in the Hou Mansion. In half a month, Madam Shen's birthday will come. Many families have already received invitations."
Second Sister Du said: "But my sister has just returned to the capital. If the Shen family sends an invitation, it would be too..." The solicitation behavior is too obvious? They, as daughters and daughters-in-law, have long been reminded by Mrs. Du that the Du family is involved in the prince's affairs. Therefore, when their children come to marry in the future, they should also be on guard. It's just their children, but also their relatives and the like. If they are related to the prince's faction, then they will move in a measured way.
Yang Haiyan said: "Speaking of which, Prince Shen and his master came to Yunxiang County because of the Imperial Food Plan, and lived in the General's Mansion for a while. Perhaps it was because of that time "
Sister Du said: "That's possible."
After a while, the nun came in, and they stopped talking.
Mammy did not expect that there would be so many people. After she came in, she respectfully bowed to Yang Haiyan and everyone else: "I have met the madam and all the madams."
Sister Du said: "If I remember correctly, I am the grandma next to the Crown Prince, right?"
Mammy said: "Mrs. Wei has a good memory, and this servant is indeed with the Crown Prince. Madam Bingyun is well. This servant is here on the order of the Crown Prince, to express her gratitude to General Qin." Madam heard from the prince that the prince and General Qin came to the capital for a drink, and the prince was hosting in half a month. It was Madam's birthday in half a month, and it was an invitation from the Hou Mansion. It happened to be borrowed. Madam Prince also wants to take this opportunity to get to know Madam Bingyun."
Yang Haiyan smiled and said: "I see, then I will respectfully follow your orders. If something unexpected happens, I will definitely come to congratulate Mrs. on her birthday that day."
Aunt Lian stepped forward and took the invitation from the nanny.
Mammy: "I'll take my leave this time."
Aunt Lian said: "I'm here to see you off."
After grandma went out, Sister Du said: "The two years of operation of Cheng'enhou Mansion are quite long."
Second Sister Du heard something about it. Her husband was from the Hanlin Academy, and was the most responsible for the Yamen. Her husband's family was from a poor family, and they had no contact with anyone in the officialdom. So she is also the one who lives the most confident life, that is, her natal family is a concubine, but the Du family’s concubine is comparable to other people’s legitimate daughters, No matter her husband’s family still goes out, who dares to look down on her? , The life in her husband’s family is very comfortable. But she and Sister Du often travel around with her parents' family, and they have heard about some things.
Mrs. Qu said: "I have heard my mother-in-law talk about it."
Yang Haiyan naturally knew about it, and asked curiously: "What happened to the Marquis of Cheng'en's house in two years?"
Sister Du said: "It turns out that although Empress Shen is the empress, the Shen family has no concubines in the harem. The battles between the harem and the princes are naturally related to them. Therefore, The Shen family was very low-key at first. But after the second prince came out, there were many banquets in the Shen family, and the women of the Shen family moved around a lot."
Yang Haiyan thought, "I understand." The second prince is the grandson of the Marquis of Chengen. The second prince and the others must come out and move around, otherwise, if the prince ascends the throne, there will be no second prince. A good place to go, after all, the Shen family is a descendant. Moreover, in the original novel and drama, the prince is a ruthless person. After all, the second prince is the one supported by the male protagonist Han Zhen, and those who are supported by the male protagonist will naturally have bad moral values. On the contrary, reflects the goodness of the second prince, and the prince must be a villain.
It can be said that for some things, one cannot say who is good or good. After all, good and good are all written by the author, and some people are not born to be good. .
However, since the country was in peace and the country was in peace, Yang Haiyan naturally hoped that the second prince would succeed to the throne.
Sister Du sighed: "It is indeed understandable. Well, it has nothing to do with us. The children of our Du family are all married, and they are also married to high-ranking families."
Second Sister Du: "It's still too early to have a baby, and it's too early to talk about marriage."
Mrs. Qu: "However, no matter whether she is a son-in-law or a daughter-in-law, she must show her character in advance."
When Yang Haiyan heard them talk about her son-in-law and daughter-in-law, she was naturally amused. In the future, Linyang would marry her too early. At least for girls under the age of eighteen, she would let her son marry her. It is not good for the girl's health to marry someone who has entered the family, so as to prevent the girl from getting pregnant prematurely.
Yes, I thought it would be earlier.
Sister Du and others sat in the Qin Mansion for a while, and then prepared to leave. When they went to look for the children, they saw some driving cars, some riding bicycles, and some playing. Ball. Sister Du couldn't help but said: "Sister, you have a lot of toys at home."
Second Sister Du followed: "I think this car is somewhat similar to the baby walker and stroller I bought before. They are both made of wood."
Yang Haiyan did not hide anything: "I made the previous step-by-step stroller and stroller. The four-wheeled stroller was relatively complicated in workmanship, so it was never produced. "
When Sister Du and others heard this, they were immediately shocked.
Mrs. Qu said: "Sister, you are really amazing."
Yang Haiyan said modestly: "I'm just thinking about it when I'm idle." She provided the design for the walker and stroller, and the matter of opening a shop and factory was related to her. The emperor found someone to handle it, and she took it. It's just a 10% dividend. But the 10% dividend was also small. After all, it was a nationwide sale at that time. This business is only short-lived, only the first two years are good. But when we made the plan with the emperor, we were doing long-term business.
"It's not just guessing, I think the girl has a good mind." Sister Du admitted that she could figure out some ways to make money, and she also wanted to think about it.
After chatting for a while, Yang Haiyan took her children back. Yang Haiyan wanted to keep them for dinner, but they didn't stay.
It seems that people in ancient times could easily eat at other people's houses.
There were no children to play with, so Qin Linyang was chatting a little. He pestered his mother and asked, "Mom, will my brothers and sisters come to play tomorrow?" A pair of eyes looked at his mother hopefully.
Yang Haiyan said: "Brothers and sisters also have their own things to do, so we can come and play every day."
Kid Qin Linyang understood: "Do you have anything else to do, kid?"
Yang Haiyan cried and laughed: "Then the child only has to play?"
Qin Linyang nodded, what else can a child do besides playing?
Yang Haiyan thought about it, her son didn’t have any friends his age, so he stayed at home and chatted with them every day. Moreover, the capital was too crowded, chaotic, and complicated compared to Yunxiang County. She did not dare to take the children to play for fear of accidents. "Linyang, would you like me to find you a friend?"
Qin Linyang: "What kind of friend are you?"
Yang Haiyan: "Just a friend who is a little younger than ."
Speaking of which, Qin Linyang, a child, is a bit familiar with , and has never played much before. Qin Linyang was born when was jumping up and down. When Qin Linyang could walk and talk, went to private school, and Aunt Hong later gave birth to a second child, . When he was free, he also looked at his younger brother.
The first time I came to the capital, Uncle Hong's family did not come, and they would not come either. The Qin family had lived in Yunxiang County for three years, so their foundation was wrong. When the land in Yunxiang County was favorable, Yang Haiyan bought a small amount of land. There were several farms there. When they came, there would naturally be people to manage them, and when they were in Yunxiang County, Uncle Hong He is the steward of the General's Mansion, and he was originally in charge of the farm affairs. After seeking Uncle Hong's opinion several times, the family left Yunxiang County to take care of the farm affairs. A farm.
In the capital, Kunshi was promoted to the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion. Kunshi was responsible for the housekeeper and the guard captain, and the kitchen was still the responsibility of Kunshi's family. In addition, Aunt Yu did not come back. Aunt Yu's daughter and granddaughter stayed at the Imperial Grain Processing Factory in Yunxiang County. Although Aunt Yu had a death contract, Yang Haiyan was considerate of her and allowed her to stay. , we looked at the Imperial Grain Processing Factory together. Besides, Aunt Yu was loyal to her, and she was the one who left her to supervise the work, just like eyeliner.
In addition, the sons of the Kunshi family, Kunying and Meng Qiu, are engaged. One is fourteen years old and the other is twelve years old. In Yang Haiyan's eyes, they are still junior high school students and elementary school students. However, the two families know each other well and they are both Qin. While working in the field, Kun Ying read a book, although he didn't get any results. Later, he practiced martial arts with Niu Dan and was sent to the military camp. Meng Qiu and the others had also studied together with Siya and learned about female celebrities, so they seemed to be a good match, so the marriage was decided.
Among the five private guards at that time, only 25-year-old Tao Shan was still unmarried. However, Tao Shan is full of "career" and is not anxious about getting married.
At a quiet noon, the three members of the Qin family began to have lunch.
Yang Haiyan thought of what happened at the Chengenhou Mansion and said, "Ms. sir, today the Chengenhou Mansion sent someone to invite us to attend Madam Hou's birthday in half a month. In this way, we will... In a few days, it’s time to invite a few people you know over for dinner.”
Qin Fang said: "Yesterday, when I was in the Du Mansion, Xing Ran mentioned that he would introduce me to some people he knows well. In this case, it would be better to invite them first."
Yang Haiyan said: "It should be so. Who should your husband invite?"
Qin Fang thought: "When I was in Yunxiang County that day, I knew Prince Shen, Wei and General Yu, so I should invite them all. When I sent fire medicine to the capital last year, I During the competition in the command camp on the outskirts of Beijing, I met a few people and called them all. This way, I would not be afraid of others being suspicious. "
Yang Haiyan calculated the days, they took the first step, and the remaining people said after two days, "Let's arrange it in five days."
Qin Fang: "Okay."
Yang Haiyan said: "In this case, the government will have to hire another cook, preferably one who can cook authentic Beijing cuisine, so that they won't get used to the taste we used to eat."
Qin Fang: "Listen to you."
Qin Linyang, a child, was listening to his parents talking while eating. Although he understood, he could sometimes reply, such as: "Listen to me."
Qin Fang then hit him on the head, causing the child to protest: "Bad guy."
In the afternoon, Qin Fang posted a few posts to the people listed at noon.
Chengenhou Mansion
Mrs. Shizi raised her eyebrows when she received the post: "A post from Qin Mansion? What a coincidence. We just posted the post today, and they will come post in the afternoon." As she said that, she opened it. post. I saw in the post that it was General Qin who invited the couple and several other acquaintances to dinner. Mrs. Shizi said to the servant who sent the post, "Do you know what other friends General Qin invited?"
The servant did not hide anything: "There are also Wei Ting, Wei , Du Xingran, Du ..." This was what Qin Fang told the servant before the servant came to deliver the post. If the other party asked, told the name of the person. .
Mrs. Shizi didn't ask any more questions: "Go back and tell General Qin that our husband and wife will definitely be there."
"Yes, I will resign."
After the servants from the Qin Mansion left, the nanny who had gone to the Qin Mansion to deliver the post said: "Madam, we just went to the Qin Mansion this morning. The Qin Mansion will come to the post in the afternoon. So if we hadn't gone this morning. Send a post, will the Qin Mansion send a post this afternoon?”
The Crown Prince's wife said: "It's true that the Qin family just came to the capital the day before yesterday, so maybe they are not ready yet." No one in the family knows about the Qin family's arrival in the capital yesterday. Qin Fang The couple is well-known, and the place they live is in the Dufu area. Naturally, people will know about it immediately, and then the good relationship between the families will spread.
However, although Qin Fang is a student of Du Ke, his official position has not yet been decided. Even though the couple is famous, they are not qualified enough to be specially invited. Just like Cheng'enhou Mansion, it happened to be the woman's birthday, so she would post a post on purpose.
Of course, if men go out to restaurants in private, that's one thing.
When Shen Lixian came back from duty, he was a little happy to hear his wife talking about the post: "By coincidence, I was also thinking about when to invite General Qin to have a drink, but I didn't expect that General Qin would come first to post the post."
Mrs. Shizi was a little surprised. She saw that Shen Lixian's demeanor when he mentioned Qin Fang seemed to be fake, and she felt that she valued the Qin family a lot. Although the prince had mentioned the matter in Yunxiang County before when he came back, he just mentioned it. She also valued the Qin family. Today she sent a message to the Qin family. She asked Mrs. about it, and they both agreed. Whether it was for the sake of the Du family or because Mrs. Bingyun was a second-class wife specially appointed by the emperor, the Qin family should invite her, and she also had a relationship with Shen Lixian. So, she posted.
Now looking at her husband's attitude, she was a little curious: "My husband seems to value General Qin very much."
Shen Lixian said: "The Qin family are very solid people, and there are too many styles in the capital. Moreover, the emperor intends to cultivate General Qin."
The Shen family will value anyone the emperor intends to cultivate, even if it is the second prince, the Shen family should work hard, there is nothing they can do. From the moment the second prince came back, the Shen family was destined to step into the vortex of competition between princes. Even if they wanted to fight, the emperor would fight with them.
The Crown Prince's wife said: "That's it. Don't worry, Sir, I know what's going on."
Compared to the Shen family, the Wei family was a little surprised.
Wei Ting took the Qin family's post and pondered.
Whether it was because of Yang Haiyan's refusal to marry, or because of the Yang family's affairs, or because of Aunt Yu's son-in-law's affairs, the Wei family felt that they had some conflicts with the Qin family. , at least the two families are also legally intersecting . Even Wei Ting was a little ashamed of Qin Fang in his heart, and he never thought about how he could be friends with Qin Fang in the future. He probably felt guilty, but he didn't expect that Qin Fang would do anything to him. post.
Finally, Wei Ting collected the post.
"Young Master, I'd like to invite you."
Wei Ting was surprised when he heard the words at the door. He had just received a post from the Qin family today. His father would send someone to deliver the message later. He knew that his father knew about Qin Fang's post for him. .
Wei Ting came to the study: "Father."
Wei's people nodded: "The Qin family sent you a post? What did you say?"
Wei Ting said: "Qin Fang invited me to go to the Qin Mansion for a gathering in five days. Father, do you think I should go?"
Wei man: "What are you going to do?"
Wei Ting still has a sense of shame. After the Wei family did that to Qin Fang, he really felt embarrassed to face Qin Fang, especially during the time in Yunxiang County, when his relationship with the Qin family was considered good. And he also knew the reason why his father asked him to continue to be friends with Qin Fang. Speaking of which, Wei Ting is not an indecisive person, but this incident shocked him too much. He never thought that his father had already stood on the side of the Ren family, but Wei Ting did not want to stand on the side. So in terms of philosophy and future life arrangements, he and his father are the same, which is also the reason why he has always been conflicted.
Wei Ting's eyes were heavy: "I will go."
Wei Ting nodded: "I called you here today for another thing."
Wei Ting said: "Father, please tell me."
Wei Yuren: "You can tell me about the formula of Huo Yao."
Wei Ting frowned: "Only me and the people from the Ministry of Works know the formula of Huo Yao. As soon as the people from the Ministry of Works arrived in the capital last year, they were arranged by the emperor. If the formula of Huo Yao is leaked, the emperor will immediately think of me. Has father thought of me?"
Wei Yuren said: "I will think of you, First of all, who can guarantee that the people from the Ministry of Industry didn't contact anyone on the way here, and didn't tell anyone the formula? Moreover, Qin Fang came here, maybe... this formula was leaked by Qin Fang, who can guarantee that he doesn't know the formula? "
Wei Ting narrowed his eyes: "Do you still want to deal with Qin Fang?"
Wei Ting: "No, just giving an example."
Wei Ting: "What's the use of a formula without materials for a fire medicine? Can you still find sulfur and saltpeter mines now?"
