The Zhen family and the Qiao family are in-laws of the older generation, and now they move around all year round. According to the relationship between relatives, it is reasonable to come over and visit after learning about the matter, but what happened to the princess?
The Qiao family did not dare to ask for help, so Yao and Qiao Yurong helped the old lady to greet them, and saw Princess Jiahe and Princess Jinghe coming hand in hand.
Judging from his attire, he must be out in plain clothes today, and his entourage is dressed like a servant of an ordinary wealthy family.
It's just that the expressions on their faces are different. Princess Jinghe is petite and has a soft appearance. She has a nervous expression at the moment, "I was originally entrusted by Empress Li to go to the Wen Mansion to congratulate you. Who knows on the way?
I heard about the eldest girl in your family, and happened to meet the two ladies from the Zhen Mansion, so I came over with them.
Old lady, please don’t think this palace is troublesome. There is no need for these useless things now. It’s more important to find this person. If you need any help, just ask.”
Princess Jiahe has a bright appearance. At this moment, she only listens to Jinghe's words. She stands alone and has no polite words to say. There is even a hint of indifference in her shrewd eyes.
But she was the darling of heaven, and even looking directly at her was an unreasonable act, so no one noticed this, just thinking that she was too lazy to get involved.
After Princess Jinghe's words came out, the Qiao family naturally felt grateful again and quickly invited people in.
At this moment, all the people sitting here are female family members, and it is not convenient to interfere in the affairs outside. I can only sit in the room anxiously and wait.
At first, everyone was saying some comforting words, but they couldn't keep saying these words for long.
The room crowded with so many people gradually became quiet and fell into a strange silence. The old lady felt that this was not the case, so she chatted softly with the old lady of the Song family, just talking about innocuous things.
To pass the time.
Princess Jinghe was very well-behaved and never showed any signs of impatience. Instead, she comforted Mrs. Xu in a low voice from time to time.
However, the second wife of the Zhen family suddenly spoke to the old lady of the Wen family in a low voice, "I'm in such a hurry today and this happened again. I haven't even congratulated you yet!"
Only then did the Qiao family remember that on today's day when the results were released, they had vaguely heard about the eldest wife of the Wen family talking about congratulations.
The old lady of the Qiao family asked: "Is your fourth man the one who fell in love with this?"
When she mentioned this, Princess Jinghe smiled, "Didn't this mean that the concubine and the concubine Li specially invited me to come out to congratulate them! Their fourth son has indeed won the election, and he is ranked 32nd in Beizhili."
"Ah!" Even Mrs. Xu, who had been worried about her daughter's whereabouts, was surprised when she heard this. "Although I knew that your fourth son was talented, I never expected him to be so talented. Do you have to prepare for next spring?"
When Mrs. Wen mentioned her son, she was naturally interested in Yourong, but Mrs. Xu didn't know why, but she always felt that there was a trace of indescribable bitterness in her smile.
She had some doubts in her heart, so she turned to look at Mrs. Wen again, and found that her smile was similar to Mrs. Wen's, but she didn't look that happy.
It was Princess Jinghe who spoke up, "That's not all! What's even more powerful is that their sixth master, the one who has been studying abroad, has been rated as a good master this time. Even the father knows about it, and only says that the Wen family has talents."
These words made Princess Jiahe, who was sitting aside and seemed a little uninterested, a little more interested, but she still didn't say anything and only looked at the Wen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with earnest eyes.
Obviously the Zhen family has already known the news. The Song family and the Qiao family have no children to take the exam, so they don't care much about the results of the provincial examination. Because of Qiao Yuyan's affairs, both families have forgotten about it.
When he heard Princess Jinghe's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly stood up to congratulate him.
The old lady couldn't help but praise: "I never thought that the sixth child of your family would have such a great fortune, and he would also bring glory to your family."
These words were a subtle attempt to persuade Mrs. Wen that she was a member of the Wen family. No matter how dishonorable things happened back then, they were all over now. The dignity Wen Tingyuan earned now was also her dignity.
Old Mrs. Song also nodded and said: "After all, it is your Wen family's children who will succeed."
After all, these words made the old lady of the Wen family look better, so she said something modest.
The old lady then said: "In that case, don't waste your time here. There are so many things going on at home! I'm afraid there are many relatives and friends coming to congratulate me. How can you do it without you?"
It was already the time when the sun was about to set, and the Qiao family could not help but feel restless, but with so many people accompanying them, they could not show too much worry.
Even though talking about the provincial examination now relieved the anxiety just now, in the end I still thought about Qiao Yuyan.
After hearing this, the old lady of the Zhen family quickly stood up and said: "It's useless for us to wait here, and don't delay your family's affairs. If Uncle Zhongyong's house needs any help, just come to us."
Then he turned to the two princesses and said, "Your Highness the Princess is..."
Jinghe glanced at Jiahe and saw that she was unwilling to speak, so she smiled and said: "I can only help so much with the Qiao family's affairs. Originally, I was just worried about the safety of the eldest girl. If I sit down again, I'm afraid it will only cause more trouble."
, let’s go with you!”
Jiahe said at this moment, "It doesn't matter if you wait a little! If something really happens, we need to send a message to the palace, maybe we can help."
Jinghe frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "If that's the case, then it's better for you to stay, sister, while I have to return to my mother-in-law and Empress Li."
Jiahe didn't know what he was thinking of, so he changed his tone after hearing this, "When you said that, I also remembered that my father said he would come to our place for dinner tonight!"
The old lady hurried over and said: "Although our eldest girl has not come back yet, this matter is a trivial matter after all. I also ask the two princesses not to disturb the Holy Emperor and the Empress, so as not to disturb the noble Jin An.
"
At this time, there is still no news about Qiao Yuyan, and everyone knows that this means that the situation is more serious than bad.
For a girl's family, this is already a devastating disaster. If the superiors find out again, Qiao Yuyan will have the dignity to survive.
Princess Jinghe naturally wanted to know this. She frowned slightly and held the old lady's hand. "Don't worry, old lady. I know that it's still early now and you may be back soon. Don't be too nervous."
Worry."
Jiahe on the side curled up his lips, sneered silently, and then looked away.
Just after sending this large group of people away, the old lady felt dizzy and a little unable to hold on. There was a sound of carriage over there, and everyone quickly looked over.
Unexpectedly, it was not Brother Qiao Weisheng, but Qiao Yuning who came back from outside the city and got off the carriage.
