Chapter 290 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law return home with a full load
In the palace, after coming out of the Queen Mother's Palace, Wang led Xin'an to greet the queen. Concubine Jin also walked out together. When they reached the fork in the road, Concubine Jin stopped and said to Xin'an: "The Huai you gave to me. I like Jiang Yinhua Tea very much. If you have free time, you might as well go to the Second Prince's Mansion to have a drink."
Xin Anxin, who had never given her tea before, was as bright as a mirror, smiling and blessing her, "Because the second prince's concubine was pregnant, she came to disturb her rashly. Yesterday, she went to visit Xu's house to visit Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu said that the second prince's fetus was gone. "Sure, let me go and talk. I'm thinking of sending someone to send you a greeting card early tomorrow morning."
Concubine Jin smiled and patted her hand, "We are all young people. It's rare that we can talk together again. We should move around more."
"Go ahead, the Queen should be finished by now."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sent Concubine Jin off respectfully, then looked at each other, and then led the way down to pay their respects to the Queen.
The queen's eyes lit up when she saw the three big beads presented by Xin An, and she quickly asked where they got them.
"My mother-in-law said that she came from overseas. Those people with curly hair and blue eyes exchanged these three beads and a box of gems for brocade tea and porcelain. The gems are common and have been inlaid on the mother-in-law's head, but these three beads are It is extremely rare, and only someone as noble as the Queen can complement it."
Today, Mrs. Wang is wearing the headdress that Xin An gave her. The queen praised it very much, "It is indeed unparalleled in beauty. Your filial piety is commendable."
At this time, the queen had already thought about where to inlay the beads, and she was very pleased with Xin An, "I often hear Yaoyao mention you, saying that you have a good temper, are smart and unassuming, and are very stable at a young age. I am also very fond of you." I’ve wanted to see you for a long time.”
"Qianjintang has used the medicinal materials sent by your father. He is well-deserved for his kindness."
Xin An bowed slightly, "My father often said that businessmen can travel north and south smoothly to make money and live a prosperous life, all because the country has a wise king and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. You know how many businessmen died in foreign lands in troubled times to support their families. My father dare not forget the kindness of the court for a day." "
"My empress is kind and virtuous, it is a blessing to follow in your footsteps."
The queen smiled at Mrs. Wang and said, "You have a good daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Wang didn't know that Xin An was hooked up with Qianjintang, but that didn't stop her from praising Xin An, "This child is filial and kind. It's a great blessing for that **** of my wife to marry her."
"Perhaps your Majesty doesn't know that my wife's son is not as stable as his brother. He has been spoiled by my wife since he was a child. He is not good at literature or martial arts. I thought that this would be the end of his life. I just want him to be safe and stable and not get into trouble." Well, I didn’t expect that I started to make progress after getting married.”
"A few days ago, I was praised and promoted by the emperor. My wife was happy but frightened, for fear that he would not be able to handle the job well and live up to the emperor's favor."
The Queen smiled and said: "They say that those who have a family and a career will naturally relax after they have a family. What's more, you have such a good daughter-in-law, how can you not cherish her?"
Even the queen felt that Tang Mo was lucky, and he got such a daughter-in-law by accident. This girl from the Xin family had made arrangements to get married to the Hou Mansion very early. The Xin family must have done a lot for her to gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion. She puts a lot of thought into it, which can be seen from her meticulous rules.
It is not surprising that the unmotivated Tang Mo fell into her hands despite being rich and smart.
"Your son's future is still ahead."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly smiled and thanked her, and then talked about the blessings of the emperor and the queen.
As expected, the Queen left a meal. Xin An felt that this trip was worth it in her life. She had already had dinner with the three most powerful people in the dynasty. She went back to write a letter to her father. You gave it to yourself and you must blow it.
When leaving the palace, the queen also rewarded many items. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law respectfully thanked them and returned home with a full load. Mrs. Zhang jumped up and down in the mansion for half a day, and she was able to get a feel for some of the situation in the Hou's mansion. She also learned about Tang Rong's troubles in the past six months. After her proposal to invite a master to do the practice was rejected by Tang Rong, she went to Tang Rong again. Under the hint, he felt that all the troubles were caused by Tang Mo.
He also commented: There is no difference between a step-brother and a concubine, with a heart higher than the sky and a life thinner than paper.
Fortunately, she was not stupid enough to confront the Wang family directly. Instead, after a detailed discussion with Tang Rong, she focused on the two girls she brought with her. They were both old enough to get engaged. It would also be a help to Tang Rong if she had a powerful husband's family.
So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the house. Before they could sit down and talk about today's visit to the palace, Zhang came. As soon as they arrived, they asked if there would be a banquet in the house at the end of the year.
Wang understood what she meant, but she just wanted to choose a son-in-law for herself, but she didn't get what she wanted.
"It stands to reason that at the end of the year, a banquet will be held and relatives and friends will be invited to the mansion. People from the clan are coming, and the boys and girls who come will not go back. In this way, they must be introduced to each family, and It will be very convenient for them to walk in the future.”
Mrs. Zhang agreed, "That's right. With relatives coming from such a distance, a banquet must be held to be lively and lively, and it shows that they take it seriously."
Mrs. Wang acted like what you said was reasonable, and changed the topic, "I just don't know when they will arrive, and I am busy at the end of the year, so I discussed with the old lady that the banquet will be held in the spring of next year, when the flowers are blooming, the willows are green, and the sky is bright. The air is clear and it’s the spring season, so it’s a good time to have a banquet.”
"Spring next year?"
Zhang said on the spot that it would not work, and that she would wait until next year when the day lilies are cold.
Xin'an also saw Zhang's intention and said with a smile, "Xin's house has been renovated and flowers and plants have been planted again. When next spring comes, I also want to hold a small banquet in Xin's house and invite the ladies I know well. Let’s have tea and talk together.”

Mrs. Wang thought it was good, "You young people have something to say when we get together. I've seen your house too. It's in a good location and spacious, and it's not dishonorable to entertain guests. When the manpower is insufficient, we can transfer it from the house."
"The chef in the mansion will also have to lend me some money."
"Just call him if you like him."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked affectionately and deliberately ignored Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang was not the kind of person who could be ignored and asked if there were many banquets to go to.
Wang said: "There are a lot of invitations sent. When the time comes, just pick two."
"Isn't it bad to come or go after someone has sent an invitation?"
She was anxious to take her two girls out to see each other, just in case they were attracted by a wealthy family.
Mrs. Wang said, "I don't know if my sister-in-law will accept invitations from anyone with a high status in the Hou Mansion. Those who just don't know about it will think that my Hou Mansion is in decline."
Xin An had an idea and dug a big hole for Zhang and Tang Rong in an instant, "Mom, I heard that my uncle also has classmates and friends in Beijing, and some of them are senior officials? Those people should be very happy to know that my uncle and aunt have come to the capital, right? ?”
"It's rare for uncle and aunt to come to the capital. It's natural that they have to visit after a long time. It will also help uncle's career. If he doesn't come, wouldn't it make people think that uncle and aunt look down on them?"
