Gao Xian still took his daughter away. When Wang Xiu learned about this, he lamented to Lu Yunhong that even if the little girl was not in good health, she would always get better by staying with her father.
If you really want to leave it in the capital, then that's not necessarily the case.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the wedding day of Mei Min and Li Jin.
Wang Xiu was invited and went to Mei's house.
The eldest princess did not move around because she was pregnant. Accompanying her were Xu Yanxin and Lu Yunzhu.
At this time, there was already a young man in charge of the Mei family. From other people's comments, it seemed that his name was Mei Xinjue.
He is a branch of the Mei family, but I heard that the old master is planning to adopt him and raise him as his own son.
Mei Min got married, and her two sisters came back. They married into two official families in Jiangsu and Jiangxi respectively. Their families were both well off, but their husbands were working abroad, so they could not return to Beijing.
Wang Xiu went to sit for a while and came back soon. The Mei family gave her a separate room to rest, but there were too many people talking to her. Even Mei Min's two sisters came with their mothers-in-law.
It’s really too much to bear.
Later, as soon as Mei Min's sedan chair went out, she hurriedly got into the carriage with the two little girls while no one was paying attention.
The beads on Lu Yunzhu's head were all messed up, and she couldn't help but complain to Xu Yanxin: "Are you still envious of my sister-in-law?"
Xu Yanxin checked whether she had lost any handkerchiefs, jade pendants or the like, and said with lingering fear: "I'm not envious anymore."
Wang Xiuzai was sitting upright. She seemed to be quite promising, but her bun was messed up. She said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is not here today. How dare they be so presumptuous in the past."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't even go to the banquet without the eldest princess, lest I get stepped on."
As soon as the words fell, the three of them laughed.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Wang Xiu asked Xu Yan: "Did your brother say when he will be back?"
Xu Yan thought: "He wrote a letter and said he wanted twenty-nine."
Wang Xiudao: "There are three days left. You stay in the house for another two days, and I will send you back on the 28th."
Xu Yanxin blushed and said, "I can't do it anymore, my mother is urging me hard."
Wang Xiudao: "Just ignore what she's urging you to do. It's the New Year, and there must be a lot of relatives coming to your mansion. How miserable is it that you have to get up to see people before you have rested?"
Xu Yan thought of his grandmother's extensive connections, nodded obediently and said, "Okay then."
Wang Xiudao: "You guys be good, I will take you to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow. Chengxi has wanted to go for a long time, but I won't let you."
"It's better to wait until Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's fetal position is stable, so as not to cause trouble."
Just like that, it was another night of confusion. The next day, Xiao Xiao heard that the Wu Jinghou Mansion was counting Mei Min's dowry, and the old lady Shangguan and her eldest daughter-in-law, Mei Min's mother-in-law, Liu, had a night of quarrel. What exactly was the commotion?
But it is unknown.
But regarding this marriage, everyone wanted to wait and see the joke, so it didn't take long for rumors to spread everywhere.
When Wang Xiu took his son, Lu Yunzhu, and Xu Yanxin to the eldest princess's residence, the eldest princess got the news.
How could the eldest princess know the accuracy of what they heard outside?
The eldest princess said: "It was Mrs. Shangguan who wanted to help Mei Min manage the dowry because she was still young and ignorant. Mei Min agreed, but her mother-in-law Liu did not agree. No, Mrs. Shangguan and Liu
They started to quarrel and refused to give in to each other. They also claimed that Mei Min was her daughter-in-law and not Mrs. Shangguan's, which made Mrs. Shangguan half angry to death."
"In the end, they fought back and forth, but neither of them cared about it, leaving it to Mei Min to take care of it."
Wang Xiu said in astonishment: "Don't they care about the men in their family? Just let the women make trouble?"
The eldest princess said: "I'm afraid you don't know the family tradition of Wu Jinghou Mansion. Mrs. Shangguan has been the dominant one in their family for too long. The two daughters-in-law have already had extramarital affairs and want to separate the family early. No one really respects them."
Hers.”
"Every time they quarreled, their two sons would run away from home and let them quarrel as much as they wanted. In the beginning, the grandchildren would still feel sorry for their grandmother, but as the quarreling lasted for a long time, they gradually became numb."
Wang Xiu said in surprise: "This is too weird."
The eldest princess said: "Isn't that right? That's why Mei Min made a profit when she left. Otherwise, how could she, a new daughter-in-law, fight with her mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"
In this way, Mei Min's life in front of her is a mess. When she figures it out, will she become more mature?
But that has nothing to do with them.
The eldest princess asked them to have dinner, and Ji Yunwei went to make arrangements.
The meals we ate were cooked by the royal chefs in the palace. Many of the seemingly ordinary dishes were cooked with sophisticated and complex techniques. They tasted fragrant, soft, glutinous, and not greasy, making them very suitable for pregnant women. Even the pastries that were delivered were all full of color, flavor and flavor. There were many.
It can be seen that the mold is newly made, and it is also the first time for Wang Xiu to see it.
While eating, she said with envy: "It's better to live like this."
The eldest princess said: "If you conceive another child, I will give you one as is."
Wang Xiuwan refused: "Forget it, I don't have the energy."
The eldest princess said: "I heard that you went to Mei's house yesterday. How was it?"
Wang Xiu shook his head and said quickly: "Stop talking, it's not that easy to be a favorite wife. I almost stepped on my shoes."
The eldest princess smiled and scolded: "Look at your worthless look, won't you scold them?"
Wang Xiudao: "It's not a happy day to make others unhappy, forget it."
"When you give birth, you can take me to play. There will be many banquets in the capital in the future."
The eldest princess sighed: "It is indeed difficult to be the wife of a favorite, and the eldest princess is not the same. But what Lu Yunhong did this time is excellent."
"He finally impressed me. Xu Xiao is not bad, and she is willing to listen to his orders."
"It's just a pity that Yao Yu is obsessed with academics."
Wang Xiudao: "If someone is engaged in career, someone must be engaged in academics. If we work together, Dayan can prosper. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. If Yao Yu's academic research is well written, won't the emperor have any reward? It's the same!
"
The eldest princess nodded and said, "That's right."
"But, let me see..."
The eldest princess glanced at Xu Yanxin and Lu Yunzhu, who were listening attentively, but she shut up in time and said, "I see that these people Lu Yunhong values are very useful."
Wang Xiu followed her words and said, "It's like this. He has a very high talent in reading people."
The New Year is coming soon, and the eldest princess knows that Wang Xiu is also very busy, and he may have to wait until the New Year to see her.
She also prepared many annual gifts for Wang Xiu. Even Xu Yanxin and Lu Yunzhu received a purse of new year's money, which was filled with small pure gold goldfish. The two of them poured it out and counted, there were thirty-six in total.
The two people looked at each other in surprise, thinking that the eldest princess was too rich.
But here, the eldest princess told Wang Xiudao with some worry: "You are familiar with Mrs. Zhang, find an opportunity to mention it. My cousin, she seems to like Xu Xiao very much."
"In addition, isn't Xu Xiao going to be a supervisor? My uncle also thinks he is quite capable, so he secretly asks people to help him."
"I'm not very optimistic about this marriage. You also know the main reason. My cousin is too naive and I'm afraid she won't be able to get into Xu Xiao's heart."
"But no matter what, her status is not low, and she can be regarded as a help to the third wife of the Xu family. Let's weigh the pros and cons and let Mrs. Zhang have the headache."
When Wang Xiu saw her hesitant to speak before, he guessed that something was going on. Who knew it was like this?
She happened to be planning to send Xu Yanxin back tomorrow, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I will tell you."
The eldest princess nodded, pulled her in for a hug, and then reluctantly said: "Go, slow down on the road."
Wang Xiu nodded and said goodbye to the eldest princess. The nanny over there said that her son refused to leave.
The eldest princess smiled and said: "An Nian has been talking about him all the time, so he probably won't let him go. You should go back first. When they come to an agreement, I will send someone to send Chengxi there."
Wang Xiu nodded helplessly and had no choice but to leave it at that.
