Mrs. Xu came to the door and first sat in Songfeng Hall where her sister-in-law Xu lived for more than half an hour. After chatting for a while, she turned to Qingfeng Hall.

She didn't expect that the Qin family's parents' room and the third wife did not see her together, and she was still a little surprised. In Songfeng Hall, she also paid attention to it carefully and saw no trace of Cheng'en Hou Qin Song at all. She only saw the concubines and Tonglian surrounding Xu and flattering her, not to mention how flattering and pleasing her, as if she was more afraid of Xu than before. If it were the past, which concubine was favored by Qin Song, she would not be so honest in front of the main room.

With doubt in her heart, Mrs. Xu went to the door of Qingfeng Pavilion. When she saw Niu, she changed her gentleness and dignity in front of Xu. She greeted Niu with a smile. She spoke with intimacy in her tone, and her words were particularly down-to-earth.

Niu had just met her for a while and felt that she was in a similar mood. It was the time when it was fresh, so she had a very happy chat with her. Mrs. Xu probably heard that Zi Ge'er was sick and brought gifts to Niu. However, it was two small boxes of homemade hawthorn cakes, which were the most stagnant and appetizing.

Mrs. Xu Er said enthusiastically: "This is not bought outside, but I made it by my own house. A farm where I dowry planted a lot of hawthorn trees. The fruits collected every year are used to make juice, making hawthorn cakes, which are cleaner than those outside. The recipe is also passed down from my family. Children cannot digest food or have no appetite in summer. It is best to eat this cake. My eldest grandson, Brother Rong, has been difficult to raise since childhood. He is very picky in eating and eats this cake a lot. I don't know if your brother is suitable for eating, so my old sister will give it a try. The thing is sour and sweet, just treat it as a snack, which is the most appetizing."

Niu smiled and said, "It's hard for you to be so thoughtful. Things are small, I only think of your kindness." He solemnly accepted the hawthorn cake, put down the lily Baihui and the others, and turned to give it to Brother Zi to eat. In fact, she has given Brother Zi to taste this kind of thing for Brother Zi to taste for Yueyue, but Mrs. Xu's kindness still touched her quite a bit.

With the hawthorn cake as the foundation, Niu and Mrs. Xu Er became closer and could chat a few things during chatting. Niu was worried about Zi Ge'er's illness these days, so Mrs. Xu Er told her some experience of raising children. In fact, Niu also has two sons, one grandson and one granddaughter, and she has a lot of experience in raising children. However, Mrs. Xu Er talked about the methods of wealthy families, which were not much the same as what she knew. She felt it made sense and deeply felt that she had learned a lot.

Seeing that Niu was slowly chatting with her, Mrs. Xu began to turn to the topic she wanted: "Actually, no matter how much you say it, it depends on the situation. It's hot this day, let alone children, adults feel that they are not energetic and have a poor appetite. It will be better when the weather gets cooler. June is coming, and at most, it will last another month, and the autumn wind will be on, and the days will soon pass."

Niu nodded after hearing this: "That's true. When we were in the northwest, we didn't feel so sad in summer. It was just that the sun was poisonous and the rain was less. How could we expect the weather in the capital to be so difficult?"

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "It's not difficult. In June, there were always many families in the capital who wanted to hold a lotus-welcome banquet. Today, I went to a family and tomorrow, and I only remember what clothes to wear, what jewelry to wear, and how to talk to people at the banquet. If there are brothers and sisters at home who have not talked about, I also have to check if there are suitable children in other families. If not, then I just need to pay attention to what kind of food they have and which opera troupe they have. When I hold a banquet at home another day, I have to study and don't make people laugh. In this way, a month will pass in the blink of an eye. Where can I still have time to think about whether the weather is too hot and has no appetite to eat?"

Niu laughed: "When we were in the northwest, we had so many tricks? After we went to the capital, we kept shutting the door and living our own family's life. What kind of banquets and plays have nothing to do with us. In other words, our master always goes out every three or five days, either going to the palace to meet the emperor or to meet his old friends who had not seen for decades. I was taking care of my grandson at home, but it was very quiet. The only banquet I had ever seen in the capital was the Dragon Boat Festival that I was in this mansion."

Mrs. Xu said, "It's a coincidence to talk about this. Isn't it a good time to go to Cheng'enhou's birthday on the third day of June? At this time in the past year, the mansion had already sent posts to various places to invite people to have a drink, but this year has not been moved until today. I just spoke to our aunt's wife and accidentally mentioned that her aunt's face was not very good, saying that Cheng'enhou was not very good and was hit by heat. No wonder the mansion didn't mention the matter of placing wine. Cheng'enhou was discomfort, so it was naturally inconvenient for a big banquet for guests."

Niu raised his eyebrows and mocked her face: "Are you hit by heat? Humph."

She didn't say much, but Mrs. Xu Er heard the story and knew that there must be something that was unknown to outsiders, so she continued: "I didn't hear it before. I'm sorry. I knew that Chengenhou was sick, so I should have brought some pills to relieve heat. My old sister didn't know that the prescription passed down from our grandmother's family was prepared with Yiwei Qingxin Pills. I took it on summer days to clear heat and relieve heat. In previous years, my aunt always sent people back to get it, but this year I didn't mention this matter. I just thought that no one in the house had heatstroke this year, and I only realized that Chengenhou was sick today. My aunt didn't know why she didn't tell us, and when I got home later, I had to send someone to deliver medicine. By the way, how many pills should I take?"

Niu smiled and said, "No need, we have it in our own family. The master has to give himself a few doses of medicine after entering summer every year. It's good for the family to take it, so there's no need to bother you." She paused, "As for the eldest house, I don't think you have to trouble you. If my sister-in-law really needs to ask for pills from her parents' home, she will naturally speak. If she doesn't say it, she definitely doesn't need it. It's a waste for you to send the medicine, and it's better to use it on people who really need it."

Mrs. Xu Er hurriedly turned her head and said, "Good sister, is there any reason here? If it is convenient, just tell me, right? It won't be possible for me to know nothing and make a taboo."

Niu waved his hand: "What are the taboos? Your aunt, I'm embarrassed to say! How could Qin Song not have a birthday because of heatstroke? He has the attitude to have a birthday! I'm afraid that he will be happy, and the family of the eldest son dare not. If you offend the emperor, how can things be so easy to pass? The imperial edict is pressed on your head, and before the emperor nods, who dares to let him out and cause trouble?!"

Mrs. Xu was startled and asked, "What? What happened? Chengenhou...has he angry?"

Niu had no idea of ​​covering up the eldest son's house, and said to Mrs. Xu without any worries: "Isn't that true? The emperor was so angry that he sent someone to the mansion to promulgate his imperial edict, asking him to stay at home, study honestly, not to see outsiders, nor to go out, and even told him to be honest and have no desires, and to be a lie at home! That is, he thought that our master returned to Beijing. If the emperor issued an edict and said that Qin Song was not, he would be afraid that it would cause outsiders to misunderstand the Qin family to lose power and implicate our master. Therefore,

He asked someone to send the decree quietly and not to publicize it to the public. But even if outsiders don't know, the decree is still an imperial decree. Now the sister-in-law, two nephews, and niece-in-law must act according to the decree. Those concubines are not allowed to approach Qin Song, and there is no wine or meat in their daily meals. The emperor also asked him to copy books and Buddhist scriptures. He has been purified for many days, and now he is still honest. It only depends on when the emperor will calm down. At this time, who in the family will mention his birthday? Isn't that resisting the decree?"

Mrs. Xu was frightened: "What happened...? Why did Chengen Hou make the emperor unhappy?" Could it be... because Master Qin San returned to Beijing and said something to the emperor?

Although Niu didn't know what Mrs. Xu Er was thinking, she could guess a little bit. Qin Song did what she did and she got angry when she said it! But here it was still involved in the people in the palace. If she said the name of Ganan, it seemed that the emperor was confused, and was deceived by a small palace servant for decades. Niu thought about it and decided to use the Spring and Autumn style to omit this section.

She only said to Mrs. Xu Er: "It's just that Qin Song is not good at himself, too ruthless! Our master only knew the truth after entering Beijing. It turned out that my father passed away, and the master accompanied me to send my father's coffin back to his hometown in Tianjin. When he passed by the capital, he naturally had to go home. But Qin Song somehow stopped our master and said that it was the Queen who said that he was unwilling to marry your aunt, so he wanted to drive him out of the house!"

Mrs. Xu Er was startled: "What?!"

Niu said with anger: "Isn't this absurd? Our master didn't believe it. But Qin Song forced him out of the mansion and refused to let us find relatives and friends he knew. The master stayed in the capital for a few days and heard about the death of the empress, and felt disappointed. However, Qin Song came to our master and told us that the last words left by the empress told him to leave the capital far away and never come back in this life! He also said that the emperor admitted this and issued an order to tell him to leave. Our master thought that the brother turned against him and his sister was gone, and he left such last words. What's the point of staying there? He accompanied me to handle my father's funeral.

Then, take me back to the northwest. Last year, my eldest son went to the capital and met the emperor, and asked the emperor to recognize him. Qin Song knew that he could no longer hide it this time, and was afraid that the matter would be worn out and he would be scolded by the emperor, so he sent someone to the northwest to invite our family back. Only then did our master know the truth and was so angry that he just thought that the two of them were brothers and could not make up their minds. When he came to the emperor, he also covered him up. But who is the emperor? The sage can shine! No one can hide it from him anymore, and he could see something was wrong at a glance. He found out what happened back then and was so angry that Qin Song broke out, and even our master was reluctant to listen to his pleading!"

Mrs. Xu was already stunned by the hearing.

I had a little cold today, so I only had one update, so I'm sorry.
