Chapter 649 Do you want to give Qianxiu some mandarin ducks?
Su Sanlang and Lin Junyan here are discussing the future, and Chen Yu is also thinking about how to spend the period from the end of the year to the wedding.
When he first came to the capital, his family had made good arrangements, but after being in the capital for such a long time, it was hard to do nothing. Chen Yu finally understood the frustration of living in the city, so he had to find something to do.
As everyone knows, how can daughters-in-law be willing to let their mothers-in-law take care of everything?
Especially after Lin Junyan came over, no one knew the twists and turns in the capital better than Lin Junyan. The sisters-in-law came together to study and made a list. Some gifts had to be given.
Zheng Yue'e mainly studied, but she found that it was of no use, so she could only say that she had gained a lot of experience. Su Sanlang and Su Silang were given New Year gifts to different people, so they each had a list and spent a long time looking at it.
Zheng Yue'e didn't say a word and wandered over to her mother-in-law.
Chen Yu, who was thinking about what to do, could tell at a glance that Zheng Yue'e was worried, and asked her to sit next to her: "What's wrong?"
"I feel a little homesick. Our family also has to give New Year's gifts to the people below. I wonder if the third aunt can handle it." Zheng Yue'e looked at her mother-in-law turning on the tea stove: "Mom, Wanwan from Beijing
There are too many twists and turns, I think the third brother and the fourth brother give gifts to different people."
Chen Yu put the kettle away and said calmly: "Because the civil servants and generals have different affiliations. Furthermore, our civil and military members of the Su family are the emperor's favorites. What the court cares about most is the frequent exchanges of civil and military affairs."
"That's right." Zheng Yue'e smiled: "Isn't this the case of guarding against gentlemen and not against villains?"
Chen Yu also laughed: "More than that, you have seen how busy our family is at this time. In fact, everyone is busy, and many officials and wives will hold banquets for guests, saying it is for flower appreciation, plum appreciation, etc., but in fact it is all
To build relationships with people in my family in the imperial court."
"This is no different from what we do at home. People in our village also have to move around," Zheng Yuee'e said.
Chen Yu glanced at Zheng Yue'e and added: "If you want to say that there is no such trouble, there is probably only one civil and military person in the entire dynasty."
"Your Majesty?" Zheng Yue'e asked.
Chen Yu smiled and shook his head: "It's our Qianxiu family."
Seeing that Zheng Yue'e was stunned, Chen Yu knew that what she wanted to ask was why Qian Xiu didn't have a gift list, but Yue'e's temperament was too concerned about the overall situation. If she didn't say it, she would just keep it in her heart and not ask.
.
Chen Yu slowly chatted with Zheng Yuee about matters in the capital, while mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drank tea.
"We Qianxiu are the people closest to the emperor. We don't even have to go to court, but we have the power to supervise all officials. If we use this power correctly, it will be the emperor's weapon to control the court. If we use it a little biasedly,
However, it is very likely to bring trouble to the court, so let alone our Qianxiu cannot be friends with hundreds of officials, even civil and military officials will avoid our Qianxiu." Chen Yu picked up the tea and took a sip: "Even Sanlang
He Shilang is also among the hundreds of officials, and they are also the people we Qianxiu want to keep an eye on."
Zheng Yuee:......!!
"The relationship between Qianxiu and the Emperor is like a monarch and a minister, like brothers. They have been accompanying each other since Sujiazhuang until now. Our family Qianxiu was with the Emperor when he was only twelve years old. It has been seven years in the blink of an eye. He was still a child back then.
, Now not only has Qianxiu reached the age to discuss marriage, the emperor can also establish a queen." Chen Yu said: "But our Qianxiu's Hongluan star cannot be too early."
As a mother, Zheng Yuee is really worried about this matter. When the child grows up, the mother looks forward to her son getting married and establishing a career.
Chen Yu sighed softly: "There are advantages and disadvantages. As a person close to the emperor, it is not easy for Qianxiu to be a loyal and pure minister. There are three generations of the Su family in the court. This standard must be maintained with humility."
You know, although the child is young, he has a mature mind that I admire, Yue'e, Qianxiu is the one who will take the lead in our Su family from now on."
These words made Zheng Yue'e feel happy and distressed at the same time: "Mom, can't you even marry this wife?"
"No, what kind of woman you marry is very important. Starting from Sanlang, the Su family has to carefully consider and weigh when marrying a wife." Chen Yu put down the tea cup: "Now it seems that besides the marriage of the children,
Qianxiu, I want you to worry more about Shao Li and Fang Fei. The third daughter-in-law of Zhu Yin and Yu Nuan is very attentive to the wedding. The children who are going to come down are still young. Don't worry. I think Shao Li will be better than Qian.
Start a family early."
Zheng Yue'e smiled and said, "Even if we are all at home, I'm afraid Qianxiu's temper won't be as good as Shao Li's to attract his daughter's family, so don't worry."
"Just don't be in a hurry. Fate can come from nowhere. Look at Sanlang and Lan Niang, they are so unexpected and unthinkable." Chen Yu changed the tea and refilled the water: "Me too.
I'm thinking about home, but Saburo has to finish his things before he can go back. After the Chinese New Year, let's go to the dyehouse and shop to see if there's anything we can do."
Zheng Yue'e nodded immediately: "Okay, I'm getting flustered if I stay like this all the time."
Chen Yu laughed out loud: "That's not what it is. Let the third and fourth daughters-in-law deal with the social matters. It's a waste of time to pretend to be familiar with each other even if they don't have such a deep friendship."
Having said that, when Xiao Qiyu came to visit again, Chen Yu still had to pack up and go to the palace to socialize.
The last time she entered the palace, Chen Yu saw the changes in the palace. The changes in the palace were the changes of Queen Mother Jiang, so she admired Queen Mother Jiang for being able to figure it out. There are several opportunities for enlightenment in a person's life, so he seized it.
Opportunities, life attitudes have changed drastically. People who cannot seize opportunities cannot make progress. Not everyone understands this truth.
Speaking of which, Queen Mother Jiang's life was not easy. Now she is the Queen Mother, but she has experienced the loss of her son, the loss of her husband, and the murder of members of the Jiang family. After overcoming these things, Queen Mother Jiang seems to have been reborn.
As the promoter of the Jiang family's annihilation, Chen Yu has always been aware of the distance between herself and the Queen Mother Jiang. Being close can be flattering, and being distant can be arrogant. This attitude made Chen Yu ponder it over and over in private several times.
In the palace, at first glance, there is not much change. The splendor and splendor are a bit exaggerated, but the style of the Tianjia is quite sufficient.
Empress Dowager Jiang came to the door to greet her after getting the news. This made Chen Yu extremely frightened, so she had to pay homage as soon as they met. Empress Dowager Jiang supported Chen Yu with both hands and said, "Don't worry about those red tapes. How about we two?"
It’s easy to get a chance to reminisce about old times.”
"Things in my family have become uneasy one after another. If it hadn't been for the commotion when I first came to the capital, I would have come to see the Queen Mother as soon as possible." Chen Yu said sincerely.
Queen Mother Jiang comforted her softly: "You always make the wives at home worry-free, but you don't know that not everyone has this brain. It's cold outside, let's go inside."
Entering Nuan Pavilion, as soon as Chen Yu sat down, three concubines and seven princesses came outside one after another.
When Chen Yu saw several beautiful princesses, her heart was in her throat. Was she addicted to being a matchmaker? Do you want to give Qian some mandarin duck music?
As expected, Queen Mother Jiang said as soon as she opened her mouth: "Our Qianxiu will be nineteen after the Chinese New Year, right?"
