The palace is full of undercurrent, and Taifu's mansion is full of joy. After Ying, the third daughter-in-law, who passed by this year, heard the news of pregnancy, and after Ji Qubing, a famous doctor at home, confirmed that he was pregnant with a young childe, another good news came to the mansion this day: the emperor Ji was in the list when he recalled the heirs of the emperor's capital for the festival this year.
Shen Xuan and Mrs. Su have eight children, but only two daughters, both of whom are legitimate. With fewer girls and no lack of sons, it is more precious.
What's more, Shen cangxiu, the eldest daughter of his wife, married Shen Jiawei, the third son of the saint and the king of Ji. After the marriage, the full moon followed the king of Ji to seal the land. King Ji's emperor was so peaceful that he was called back to Beijing almost every few years. Naturally, Shen Zang Xiu has to wait for her husband to return to Beijing and take her with him, so that she can have a chance to see her mother.
Every year, Mrs. Su said that there was a Ji Wang among the people who expected the emperor to call back to the capital for the festival, but only once in three or five years. The last time Ji Wang was called back was last year, so it is unlikely to see Shen cangxiu this year - so it's an unexpected joy to the Shen family.
Mrs. Su was overjoyed. On the one hand, she directed her subordinates to buy a large number of Shen cangxiu's and Ji Wang's favorite things to entertain her daughter and son-in-law when they arrived. On the other hand, she went into Shen Xuan's study alone and discussed with her husband: "emperor Ji's Royal Highness, Emperor Chong Ping, has been called back four times since she went to seal the land. I just came back last year and called him back this year. Is there any reason here? "
It's a good thing that the eldest daughter can come back to visit her relatives. But suddenly, if there's a conspiracy in her, Mrs. Su would rather get together in two years.
Shen Xuanxiang said, "did you forget that the king of Iraq's fiefdom was by the king of Ji?"
"It was proposed by Empress Gu?" With a slight frown, Mrs. Su said, "does the queen think of the time to remind the saint to marry King Yi immediately after the new year's Eve and send him to go to the fief together with King Ji?"
"Sell it to our family by the way." Shen Xuan said lightly, "then you can tell Xiuer in private, let her remind the next king Ji, and be careful not to ask the queen or the princess to drag him down."
When Mrs. Su heard the name "Xiuer", she was slightly shocked, but she remembered that she was close to her husband when she first married. Even after her eldest daughter was born, Shen Xuan chose a word in her maiden name "Xiuman" to show her love Now they are both grandfathers and grandmothers in a twinkling of an eye. After a moment of trance, she said, "Your Highness King Yi has never been very generous. Will you remember Ji Wang and Xiu'er for this?"
Shen Xuan said to himself, "the edict has been given. Can we let them not come? Let's talk then. "
There's nothing more to talk about here. Mrs. Su turns to her husband and talks about another daughter: "after the new year, zangging is going to have hairpin. Her family affair...?"
Shen Xuan always indulges his daughters because he has more men and less women under his knees, and because his eldest daughter is married far away and rarely seen, he is used to Shen Zang Ning as a little daughter in front of him. Even last year, Shen zanning helped Shen Zanfeng steal the "kill Hu" sword and reunite the marriage that he had decided to quit. After Shen Xuan, he also lightly reprimanded him. It's Shen zangfeng. He was beaten by Shen Xuan. If he didn't have to work in front of the imperial court, Shen Xuan would have felt that he couldn't get up for half a year
Shen Xuan, of course, was also concerned about the death of such a doting daughter. He discussed with Mrs. Su several young men. After thinking about it, I feel that my government affairs are busy. My daughter is with her mother in the end. Besides, Shen zanning is a legitimate daughter and the flesh and blood of Mrs. su. Of course, Mrs. Su didn't hurt her daughter, so he said, "these people are OK. Who is more suitable for coagulation?"
However, Mrs. Su said with a wry smile, "in the future, the marriage of children, unless it's like a fish shade, I watched it grow up. Otherwise, it's up to you to decide! "
"Why?" Shen Xuan said in surprise
"Look at Tibetan beads and Tibetan Hui." Mrs. Su said bitterly, "it's a pity that my second brother Kuan Hong doesn't care about me. I'm entrusted with the marriage of his first daughter and first son. As a result, none of the two children's marriage is successful! I really treat them as my own flesh and blood, but the final result is always unsatisfactory I think maybe I don't have enough luck? So come on. "
Shen Xuanwen was shocked when he heard that his niece and daughter-in-law were not virtuous. He thought about how he was angry with Mrs. su. He calmed down and thought that his wife was wronged. He said: "I can't blame you all. I was a little worried earlier. I think it's destiny, isn't it? "
Although Shen Xuan comforted his wife, he would rather believe that this kind of thing has something to do with her, not to mention the life of her beloved little daughter. So Shen xuankuan explains a few words about Mrs. su. He still thinks Shen zanning's marriage is up to him. "Feng'er is now far away in Xiliang. No one is looking after him in the third room. Wei's family is pregnant again. You have more heart on behalf of feng'er," Shen xuandao said
Sufu humanely: "do you still need to say that? I'm going to send the whole building to Jintong courtyard almost every other day. " He added, "fortunately, Ji Qubing was invited by Wei's family to give birth to her, and Huang's dowry beside Wei was educated by Ji Qubing."Shen xuandao: "you said last time that Wei's baby is a male grandson?"
"Isn't it?" Mrs. Su smiled and said, "this woman of Wei family is really blessed."
"Now we all have a grandson, Shuming." Shen Xuan was in a good mood with a beard. He said happily, "this is our second grandson, and a legitimate grandson. Real children's wives and concubines all gave birth to three granddaughters for us, which is not to say that granddaughters are not good, but the fact that there is no male granddaughter in the second room can't be reassured! Previously, I was most afraid that feng'er and shi'er would be hard on their offspring, which would inevitably be criticized by those people. Now I'm relieved! "
Mrs. Su thought for a while and said: "what I'm worried about is that there is no heir or not. There is no legitimate son, and there should be a common son to inherit In this way, while he is resting on the new year's day, may I choose some people to serve him? "
Shen Xuan was very satisfied with his wife's concern for the common people: "you can make decisions."
After thinking about it, he said, "when the moon is full after Wei's production, you can let Liu's and Duanmu's have a rest and let her manage the family. After all, although there are Shuming in the big room, there are not many children. Let the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law have a free time, so as to open more branches and leaves for us. "
Mrs. Su knew that this was to give birth to a male grandson by Wei Changying. She formally handed over the Taifu mansion to Wei Changying to take care of it. The so-called "opening branches and scattering leaves" was just a decent way of saying to Liu and Duanmu. This also means that mingpeitang began to focus on cultivating Sanfang, which she was happy to see and nodded: "I think so, too."
After the couple had agreed, Mrs. Su began to act vigorously. First, with the help of Wei Changying's pregnancy, she said something about the offspring when Liu and Duanmu were both in front of him. Liu's listening is not enough. Shen Shuming, the only descendant of Taifu's mansion, was born by her. Even though Mrs. Su said that there were not many heirs in her family, Liu also had Duanmu's bottom Even if Wei Changying gave birth to the first son of Sanfang, Liu still has a first daughter, Shen Shujing, to help!
It's Duanmu Yanyu who is fidgety. Originally, she had two legitimate daughters in succession, and the concubine also had a girl. The concubine who confirmed that she was pregnant with a male child had a small birth, which made her husband and his mother very unhappy. At that time, because Shen Cong listened to Guo's little words, the fire broke out. Duanmu Yanyu showed the evidence that his concubine was afraid of being punished after she gave birth, which made Mrs. Su stand by her side.
As a result, even my mother-in-law is not satisfied with the heirs of the second room Duanmu Yanyu is full of bitterness. However, Shen Shurou, the youngest of her grandchildren, is seven years old. Shen Shuyan, the youngest of her grandchildren, is five years old. So far, er Fang has two sons and three daughters, but not a boy. Even if the elders of Duanmu Yanyu's family are here, they can't say that they should not fill the backyard.
Duanmu Yanyu knows that mother-in-law's words today are just for herself, so she has to take the initiative to give her husband a concubine to extend her children. After all, the meaning of her own mother-in-law is very obvious. It's not that she doesn't want to be able to make it. It's better to be generous.
Mrs. Su was very satisfied with her attitude and asked, "do you have a choice?"
"There is no son under my husband's knee so far," said Duanmu Yanyu My daughter-in-law often thinks about it because she is not virtuous enough. So after Cuiqiao gave birth, her daughter-in-law also looked for some people. However, her husband was busy with business at that time, and her daughter-in-law had to take care of her daughter-in-law. She didn't care about it for a while, so she was tired and worried about her mother. " First of all, I talked about the scene, and then I said, "how about the Hongling and Honglian in front of my daughter-in-law, mother?"
Both Hongling and Honglian are maids of Duanmu Yanyu, and now they have been promoted to close ambassadors. As for appearance and knowledge of advance and retreat, they are all good. The point is that their marriage is in Duanmu Yanyu's hands. Duanmu Yanyu gives both of them to her husband, and they are not afraid to turn over any waves. In fact, Shen's family would not allow concubines to destroy their wives, but Duanmu Yanyu has no children for many years. He knows that Guo's mother-in-law, from her husband, does not expect her children to be upset. If the concubines do something wrong after they have done something, they will eventually be upset It's a hassle.
And she doesn't say who to choose. In case Mrs. Su rewards people directly, it's even more difficult to control.
Duanmu Yanyu thinks that it's enough to be a reserved concubine with the talent and appearance of the ambassador's daughter beside him. Is mother-in-law the husband's natural mother? Can she also pass the Customs on the scene?
Originally, she was right about this. If Mrs. Su wanted to care about her son's offspring, she would follow the trend. But Shen Zanfeng's eldest son has been settled, and Shen Cangfeng has no son - this is Shen Xuanti's, and of course, Mrs. Su should pay special attention.
So at the moment, I listened to Duanmu Yanyu's words, and nodded slightly: "Hongling and Honglian are your dowagers, and they are waiting for you from the door. Now they are given to the real son. I don't think they are wrong." Duanmu Yanyu was about to speak, but Mrs. Su said again, "but now it's near the new year's pass. There are more people. I'll add two more for you. You can clean up four rooms with others."
He asked someone to bring in two pretty girls from outside. "This is the one I asked Tao Momo to pick out in person two days ago. They are all from the capital city. There are many brothers in the family, and it is suitable for men to come here."
Duanmu Yanyu was stunned for two times. She was pushed by the servant girl around her before she remembered thank you.
