Hearing that Xu Wenchang's sister-in-law got pregnant before they got married, Jiao Jiao couldn't help saying, "even if you are pregnant, you don't have to marry her? Li's character is so bad that he can't marry home and be a good wife. " If you are pregnant, just go home and be a concubine. Although it's not authentic, it's the most appropriate way in the long run.

"Xu Wendong didn't take a fancy to her either. He was following Li's calculation." Obviously, Xu Wendong is not as smart as his brother.

At this point, Liu Er could not help shaking his head and said: "barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. Xu Wendong was already a scholar at that time. The Li family threatened him to go to the Yamen and sue him if he didn't marry the Li family

Jiaojiao had some doubts: "Niang, the one who hires is his wife, and the one who runs is his concubine. She could only be a concubine even if she told the Yamen what she had done. As for the Li family's threat, can the Xu family be threatened if they want to? " It's true that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. But the problem is that after Xu Wenchang was elected, the Xu family and the Li family were no longer on the same level. As long as Xu Wendong publicizes what Li has done, and then proposes to take her as his concubine, outsiders will not say anything about him.

"Xu Wendong knew that Li was pregnant and wanted to take her as his concubine, but old lady Xu didn't want to. She directly invited the matchmaker to the Li family and decided the date of marriage within three days. If Xu Wendong doesn't marry, he won't be. " Li is easy to deal with. Maybe the old lady is his mother. If he didn't marry Li, it would be disobedient and unfilial. Unless Xu Wendong doesn't want a future, he can only recognize it by pinching his nose.

Jiaojiao understood: "mother, my grandmother's guess is too accurate. This old lady Xu is not a smart person." There's nothing wrong with trying to get closer, but the premise is that the other person has a good character! Li's character is too cold to be a concubine. Old lady Xu even wants her to be a daughter-in-law.

Liu er said with a smile, "Mrs. Xu probably wants to help her mother's family in this way."

There are many ways to help her mother's family, but Mrs. Xu used the least desirable one. In doing so, she is tantamount to cheating Xu Wendong all her life.

Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "with such a mother-in-law, I won't worry any more."

Liu er said indifferently: "the old man of the Chen family is a powerful character. She brought up Chen Xiangxue. With Chen Xiangxue's skill, it should be easy to deal with an old country lady. "

"That's true." Chen Xiangxue doesn't only know Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is more tactful in life, and the steward is a good hand.

After gossip about the Xu family, Liu Er tells Jiaojiao about moving back to the princess's house after the Lantern Festival: "it's time to start sorting out your things." There are a lot of delicate things, which must be sorted out in advance.

Jiaojiao was a little surprised: "Niang, why do you want to move back to princess's house all of a sudden?" Having lived in the government for so many years, some of them are reluctant to give up.

"Silly child, Princess House is our home. And even if they don't move now, they will move after they get married. There are so many people, right and wrong. We all live in the government. I have a good relationship with your aunt. She doesn't care. But brother tiger and their daughter-in-law may not have no opinion. To avoid this, it's better to move back to princess's house as soon as possible. " As for the real reason, there is no need to tell Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao thought about it, too. I didn't say any more.

When he went to bed at night, Feng Zhixi said, "it's still the mother who can teach people, but in two months, Jiao Jiao is much calmer than before."

"This child is the most obedient to his mother. My mother asked her to learn needlework one hour a day, so she did. After two months of study, it's no problem to make shoes and socks now. " Shoes and socks don't need to look good, just look past.

Feng Zhixi said with a smile: "it's also my mother who can cure Jiao Jiao so well." Liu Er couldn't do it. What Jiao Jiao didn't want to do was to scatter Jiao Jiao or cry at her, but in the end, it was nothing.

Liu er said with some regret: "I told my mother today that I would let Jiao Jiao live in Baihuayuan for a while after the Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, I didn't agree. "

"You will be content. Neither the emperor nor the king's children have lived in the garden for a long time. " Jiaojiao has lived in Baihua garden for the longest time.

Liu Er didn't answer this, said: "Niang said that she would go to Yucheng with her father next year, and set out in the spring. It's estimated that she won't come back until the end of the year."

Feng Zhi Xi frowned and said, "the emperor and the Empress Dowager are old. Isn't it right to go so far?"

Liu er said: "my father said that he would go to Yucheng to have a look while he was still healthy. He said that he would not be able to go in the future."

As cloud engine gets older and older, it can't do a lot of things. Hearing these words, liu'er was sour in her heart, and she couldn't say anything against it.

After the new year, liu'er took Jiaojiao back to the princess's house. As for brother Bao and brother Ying, they stayed in the government. However, after two years of marriage, they will definitely go back to the princess mansion. So Liu Er, also don't urge.

In the middle of February, Yuxi and Yunqing left for Yucheng. Qi Hao is not at ease, let Qi you put down the job on hand to accompany two people.

In March, liu'er and Jiaojiao said one thing: "the Chen family has invited us to have wedding wine."

"Why invite me?" Normally speaking, a girl who is not in the cabinet will not be formally invited. However, if you have a good relationship with the bride to be, invite her to have a wedding in her own name.

Liu Er shook his head and said: "the post didn't write your name. I want you to have a drink with me." It is said outside that she would regret refusing Xu Wenchang's proposal. She even said that Jiaojiao would blame her for it in the future. So Liu Er wanted to let these people know that they would not regret, and Jiao Jiao didn't care about Xu Wenchang.

Let's say that people like Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen would not do such boring things. Jiaojiao said: "Niang, if you don't want to get a gift from someone. Don't worry about what others say. " She has heard many people say that she will regret it in the future. She took it for granted.

Liu Er touched Jiao Jiao's head and said with a smile, "if you don't want to go, don't go. I must go."

Jiaojiao looks puzzled.

Liu er Explained, "your aunt won't go. I'm sure she will." The relationship between the Chen family and the Feng family is good. Now the married daughter of the Chen family invites the Feng family to a banquet. It's impolite not to go alone without special circumstances.

It's also the offspring of the next generation of Feng family. They haven't married yet. If not, just let a younger generation go.

Jiaojiao nodded and changed the topic: "Niang, I want to make a dress for a Zhang. Do you agree?" She thinks her needlework is good, so she wants to show it.

Liu er said with a smile: "it's better to make a purse for Zhaozhang first, and it's not too late to make clothes later." The main reason is that it takes too much time to make clothes. It's not like embroidering a few stitches on a purse.

It's Liu er who worries that Jiao Jiao won't have the patience to dress well. If you tell Du Zhaozhang that you want to make clothes for him, then the clothes will never be available, which will make people happy.

Jiaojiao thinks about it.

On Chen Xiangxue's wedding day, Liu Er gets up and puts on her make-up before dawn.

Like other people, the Chen family's marriage did not cause any waves. So after the wedding banquet, Liu Er went home.

After a few days, Jiaojiao got a message and immediately came to find liu'er: "mother, I heard that sister Mimi was sent away by her grandfather. Mother, where has sister Mi been sent? "

Liu Er shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Jiaojiao asked with some doubts, "how did grandfather know about this?"

Liu er said with a bitter smile, "on the day of Xu Wenchang's marriage, Mimi is crying and telling your aunt that she wants to become a monk. Of course, your aunt didn't want to. Unexpectedly, she went on a hunger strike. It's a big deal. Your aunt can't hide it even if she wants to. "

When Feng Dajun knew this, he was angry and sent Mimi out of the capital. Seven seven to intercede, but also by Feng Dajun scolded a meal, said her mother more defeated.

"Your grandfather sent honey away, probably also want to use a special way to wake her up." Mimi has an engagement with the Han family. The wedding date has been decided. Now that the wedding date hasn't been changed, liu'er feels that Feng Dajun wants to break off honey.

"Well, the third sister used to be very good except for her weak temper. But since I met Xu Wenchang, it seems like a different person. Mother, I really can't figure it out. The third sister just met Xu Wenchang. How could she live and die? " It's totally baffling!

Liu Er shakes her head to show that she doesn't know.

"For the sake of Xu Wenchang, the third sister's grief is nothing more than her aunt." With that, Jiaojiao asked, "mother, how was Chen Xiangxue's life when she married to the Xu family?"

Liu'er was so clear about the Xu family before that she let people buy off the servants brought by the Xu family from their hometown. These two people got a lot of money, and naturally they said all they knew. Now Liu Er doesn't pay special attention to the Xu family, so she really doesn't know whether Chen Xiangxue is well in the Xu family. "Since Chen Xiangxue got married, the Xu family's affairs won't go out any more." It can be seen from here that housekeeper Chen Xiangxue is really powerful.

"That's good." It's not easy for Xu Wenchang to have such a mother. He is blessed to have such a talented and capable wife.

In the following days, liu'er took care of her dowry and gave it to brother Bao. And Jiaojiao didn't stay at home like other girls waiting to get married, and she didn't go anywhere. She took an invitation from her classmate and went to the appointment as usual. If you want to meet books you are interested in, you will also participate.

When you walk around more, you hear more. When she heard that old Mrs. Xu called Chen Xiangxue a hen who didn't lay eggs, Jiaojiao thought it was incredible.

Back home, Jiaojiao told Liu Er about it: "it can't be true, can it?"

"It's not Mrs. Xu, it's Mr. Li. I don't know what dispute happened. Li scolded Chen Xiangxue as a hen who didn't lay eggs in front of outsiders. " It was because of the presence of outsiders that the story came out.

Jiaojiao glared and said, "Niang, Chen Xiangxue has only been married to the Xu family for half a year. How can Li say such a thing?" That's not a common bad word.

"That woman originally wanted to marry is Xu Wenchang, which can see Chen Xiangxue pleasing to the eye." If Li Shi knew about honesty and shame, he would not collude with his brother. He would not be a schemer. Such a woman has no face and no skin. She can say anything.
