After a noisy chat, the young couple were finally welcomed into the house. Naturally, they went to Songhe Hall first. When they entered the house, they saw that only the old lady was sitting there.

Why is the old lady not here? Ye Yichen and Yulan were both a little surprised. Yulan went to see the eldest lady. Before the eldest lady could say anything, the old lady explained: "Your grandfather went to Luliang Mountain to visit friends! He just set off yesterday, thinking

He didn't send anyone to inform you that you were coming today. Before he left, he said that you were a good son and a good wife, and that your marriage was made in heaven. He had nothing to worry about, and he wouldn't wait for you to come back in three days."

Yulan was surprised: "My grandfather is old. It's a long way from Shandong. How can he bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling all the way?" Why don't you try to persuade me?

The old lady sighed: "It's not that we didn't persuade you, but don't you still know your grandfather's temperament? Who can change the things he decided! It was his wish to travel around mountains and rivers and write books and commentaries, but now he no longer has the power to govern.

Tie him down, so we have no choice but to fulfill his wish."

After all, Yulan was a little worried, so she asked the old lady in detail: When did he set off? How many people did he take? Which route did he take? The eldest lady answered them one by one. Yulan saw that everything was well prepared, so he

Feel a little relieved.

Ye Yichen suddenly said: "If you and I kowtow in the direction of Shandong, it would be considered a full courtesy." Yulan naturally agreed. A little maid had already come in with a soft cushion, and the husband and wife knelt down side by side, facing each other.

Shandong kowtowed to the direction. Then he kowtowed to the old lady.

The old lady accepted it happily and gave each of them a red envelope. When she stood up, Yulan couldn't wait to ask about the old lady's condition. The old lady was quite open-minded: "Everything is fine here, your wife can take care of it."

It’s considered careful. Besides, I’m so old. One more day of life is a day of gain. You don’t have to worry. Live your life well and give me a great-grandson as soon as possible!”

Ye Yichen looked at Yulan and smiled slightly, but Yulan's face turned red. They had only been married for three days, and they were already thinking about having children. It was really big.

The old lady was not in good health yet and couldn't stand the noise, so it was inconvenient to say more. After sitting for a while, everyone left Songhe Hall and went to Yining Ju. Entering the main hall, the eldest man and his wife were the parents-in-law, and the young couple were sitting there.

It was time to kowtow to them and serve tea. Yulan had long heard that Ye Yichen did not kowtow to his parents on the day of his welcome, so she winked at him frequently.

If Ye Yichen still refuses to let go of her figure, it will be very difficult for her to be a good person if she is caught in the middle.

Ye Yichen was proud and looked down on the elder's behavior. It turned out that he really didn't want to kowtow to such a person. When he saw Yulan winking at him like this, he understood why he didn't understand Yulan's scruples, and he couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.

When the eldest man and his wife sat down, Ye Yichen took Yu Lan and kowtowed three times to the eldest man and his wife, and then served tea to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The eldest man and his wife did not dare to accept his courtesy at first, but now

He was even more flattered, and quickly asked the little maid to help the two of them up, and gave each of them a big red envelope.

The eldest lady was smiling all over her face. She felt that after receiving these favors from the prince, her net worth immediately skyrocketed, and she almost turned into a fairy. She asked with a bright smile: "Seven girls haven't caused any trouble to the prince, have they?" This question made her wonder.

There was no problem, but the tone was very humble.

Yulan couldn't help but be a little stunned. My wife is so soft. If she suffers any grievances in the palace in the future, how can she expect her parents' family to stand up for her?

This is probably the disadvantage of marrying high!

Ye Yichen glanced at Yulan and replied with a smile: "Yulan is gentle and courteous, and serves me with all his heart and soul. I am very satisfied." Yulan listened to the side, but he felt awkward hearing it. Why did he say this so much? What about the reviews on Taobao? Could it be that I was the one Ye Yichen bought back? Can you still return it if you are not satisfied?

The eldest man also smiled and encouraged him a few words, and his attitude was as humble as the eldest wife. Yulan sighed inwardly, and it seemed that he should not even think about counting on his parents' family to support him in the future.

After paying homage to her parents, Yu Lan asked her maids to get gifts and distribute them one by one. The gift for the old lady was a century-old wild ginseng, which naturally had been left at Songhe Hall. Then Ye Yichen was greeted by a group of male guests. The stars accompanied him to the front, and they were the only female relatives left in the inner courtyard, so the atmosphere became relaxed.

Everyone gathered around and asked, "How is the prince treating you?" "Are you used to living in the prince's palace?" The eldest lady even held her hand in person, with a very cordial and easy-going attitude. Yulan I had been a little transparent person in this family for two years, and suddenly became the center of attention. I felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

As they were chatting and joking, a little maid came in and reported that the banquet had been laid out, and she invited the ladies and aunts to come over to have a meal. Yulan came back today as a guest, so the eldest lady arranged for her to sit in the host and guest seats. Yulan pushed for a long time, but what was it? Sit in the host and guest seats.

The second lady sat down next to the eldest lady, and the fifth lady sat under Yulan. Yumu, Yufei, and Yuqing also sat down. When Yulan saw that the second girl still hadn't come back, she knew that the eldest lady still refused to call her. When I entered the house, I looked at the second wife with a forced smile. She was already a married aunt, so naturally it was not easy to ask about these things. As for the fifth girl, naturally no one mentioned her again.

The little maids filed in, and soon a table was filled with delicious dishes.

The eldest lady raised her glass to give a toast, and the banquet officially began. The topic was naturally inseparable from Yulan, the life of the prince and the palace.

Yu Fei sat on the side of Yulan and kept looking at Yulan quietly. She had just given birth, maybe because she was carelessly taken care of during the confinement, her face was not very good. It’s just that Yulan is now married to such a As a high-ranking family member, for the sake of her husband's family and her daughter, she had to follow her husband in flattering him.

Yu Lan has always liked simple and elegant dressing, but today she was dressed very gorgeously. Her black hair was combed into a pony bun, and not only was her hair covered with pearls, but the two strings of coral beads hanging down from her hair were as big as grapes, and their color was brilliant. Everyone here comes from a wealthy family and has a sharp eye. They all know that these two strings of beads alone are very precious, not to mention the various jewelry on her head and wrists, all of which are rare and exquisite. As the body grows, Shaking and shining, it is dazzling.

Yu Fei still remembers a detail. Yulan and Ye Yichen came in the same Babaohuagai car, but she and her husband came in a car and a horse. It can be seen that the relationship between this young couple is very good. .

Thinking about her marriage and husband, Yufei's eyes were full of loneliness, and her heart was full of mixed feelings. She never thought that a little concubine would have such a glorious day. And she was a little third-grade military attache. My daughter-in-law no longer even has the qualifications to be jealous.

Everyone was talking to each other at the table, and the atmosphere was very lively. Yulan's status was different now, and even the eldest wife wanted to show her presence in front of her. Yulan sighed in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. He drank a few drinks

After drinking wine, the atmosphere became more lively. Yuqing smiled and asked Yulan: "Seventh sister, the prince's palace must be very spacious, right?"

Yu Lan was very kind to the little sister in the family and said with a smile: "Whenever you have free time, you can come to our house and take a look!"

Yuqing stuck out her tongue: "I'm afraid that my sister is busy with her wedding, so I don't dare to disturb her!"

Yulan said: "If you have anything to do, just go! I'm bored staying alone in the house, so you can talk to me if you go."

There was light in Yuqing's eyes.

Then he said to Yu Mu and Yu Fei: "Eldest sister and third sister would like to visit me more often when they have time. We sisters now have their own destinations, so we should move around more!"

This was what Yu Mu and Yu Fei were waiting for. The eldest lady also said: "What Qi Yatou said is right. It should be like this so as not to weaken the relationship between the sisters."

After saying a few words, they turned to Zu Geer's marriage. Yu Mu asked: "Second aunt, the eldest brother is not young anymore, how is his marriage with the Jiang family?" There are no girls in this generation of the Yang family.

Except for one Yuxia who was punished to go to the temple, and one Yuqing who was still in grade, the rest all had husband-in-laws, and most of them had children of their own.

But there is not even a single brother who is married. The meaning of the marriage of the Yang family and Sun Chengzu is particularly different. If he marries well, he will naturally give the remaining brothers a good start. Yulan cares about the third brother.

In the future, I will keep my ears open and listen to a few more words. The second wife is currently busy with this matter, rubbing her eyebrows and saying: "The old man also nodded his head at the time of the marriage. But now it has happened again...

…”

Yulan didn't know much about these aristocratic families, so she had a puzzled look on her face. However, Yumu had been a wife for a long time and was well-informed, so he explained to her in a low voice: "The Qiantang Jiang family has been a famous family for many generations. Not only is it extremely powerful in the local area,

, owning thousands of hectares of fertile land,

There are countless industries, and talents are at their peak in the past dynasties. Some people have reached such a high position as the Minister of Rites. In this generation alone, there are more than a dozen officials in the court, and one of the direct branches has even achieved the rank of a province.

The chief envoy is a local official."

Yu Lan understood somewhat after hearing this. Since the Yang family was born in Qing Dynasty, it was naturally in the best interest of the family to marry a family like the Jiang family, which had a long history of scholarship. The Jiang family sounds like it has deep roots. Such a century-old family is much better than the Yang family.

Not to mention giving in too much.

I think the second wife had a plan for Brother Zu's son. I'm afraid she had reached a private agreement with the Jiang family many years ago. She only waited for the children of the two families to grow up and then celebrate the six rites and get married. She didn't know these things before, because she

She is a concubine and has no status in the family, so she is very different now.

The second wife said angrily: "What a famous family! It was clearly agreed that the Jiang family's sister would get married when she was fifteen, but when the time came, the Jiang family actually came up with various reasons to say that she was her sister.

body

You are too weak to marry into our family, lest you drag down our family! We just called off the marriage. I am afraid that I will see that my father-in-law is not in the position of chief minister. These people are following the trend of others, and they belong to a century-old family, huh!"

Yulan was stunned when she heard this, and she vaguely felt that the truth should not be like this. You must know that the most important thing for a century-old family like the Jiang family is reputation, and they would never immediately reject the originally agreed marriage just because the old man was no longer in the relationship. And this

If the reputation of a "young lady is weak" is spread, the second lady will no longer want to marry into a good family in the future. I think with the second wife's temper, the news will be spread all over the world.

There must be other reasons for losing a legitimate daughter, maybe it is related to the political struggle between the DPRK and China. Yulan didn’t know, but his guess was very accurate. The Jiang family was not because the old man resigned as chief executive.

Only then did Fu Zhi push forward the marriage that had been agreed upon for a long time.

It's because the family has adjusted its development strategy. Instead of being a wise man to protect himself, he has turned to actively supporting the fourth prince, King Zhao, in seeking the throne. He has taken refuge with the fourth prince. Naturally, he can no longer marry the princeling of the Yang family. These things are not the matter between the eldest wife and the second son.

This is what a housewife like my wife can know.

Considering that the Jiang family has a long history and a rich heritage, the young ladies in the family are naturally well-educated and well-behaved. As the eldest grandson of the Yang family, Chengzu, marrying such a daughter-in-law will naturally be of great benefit to the Yang family without any harm.

Although there are many rich and noble ladies in the capital, it is really hard to find a daughter-in-law who matches Seungjo. No wonder the second wife has a headache.

Yu Mu Yufei sighed and even said it was a pity that this marriage was going on.

But the eldest lady gave Yulan a piece of fish and said with a smile: "What kind of person is your second aunt? You need to worry about her."

Now even Yulan couldn't help but asked curiously: "The second aunt has announced a marriage to the eldest brother again?" The second wife's efficiency is indeed beyond compare.

The second wife sighed and said: "My mother's family is still reliable. The Korean government of my mother's family is quite satisfied with my brother. I went back to beg my mother a while ago, and my mother has promised to marry my third brother's daughter to my brother.

It’s my son. It can be considered as a kiss.” Finally, he shouted: “My mother still loves me!” I think the old lady who came to the Korean government played a big role in it.

Everyone raised their glasses: "Congratulations!"

The second wife’s natal Han Dynasty was the “chief minister” of the Taizong Dynasty, with a great reputation. Although the Taizong Dynasty was weakened a lot, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. In the current Zhengtong Dynasty, he was still very important in the court.

Influential. The second wife cannot marry the legitimate daughter of a noble family as her daughter-in-law. If she can marry the legitimate daughter of a noble family, it can be regarded as "lost and gained in the east".

Yulan's heart was moved and she asked, "I wonder which young lady from the Korean government is this?" Misses from the Korean government frequently visited Yang's house, and Yulan knew most of them.

The second wife said: "It's Sister Eleven! You should have met her before!"

The corner of Yulan's mouth twitched. Of course Yulan had met this Eleventh Miss before, not only had she seen her, but she had a deep impression on her. She was generous and sensible, and knew how to advance and retreat. The only flaw was that... she looked too ordinary.

Even Yu Fei, the most unattractive person here, could keep her under control. But seeing the second wife looking very happy, Yu Lan had a deeper understanding of the marriage that was ordered by parents in ancient times.

At this time, family status is the core competitiveness! Being good-looking is useless, reincarnation is a technical job.

Yu Mu continued to ask, "In that case, when will the second aunt plan to ask the bride to come in? When the bride comes in, you can relax as soon as possible."

The second wife smiled and said: "I have already discussed it with my mother's family. I will go to the Duke's Mansion next month to settle the marriage first. As for getting married, there is no rush. Brother Zu is still just a scholar after all. I

Now he is supervising his ancestors

Brother, I'm working hard. Now that the Queen Mother's national mourning has passed, this year's Autumn Palace will be held as scheduled. I'm thinking that after this year's Autumn Palace is over, if Brother Zu can be lucky enough to win the election and marry them, then I can

It’s more honorable.”

Yu Fei raised her glass and said, "My eldest brother has been smart since he was a child. Even my grandfather praised him a lot. I believe there will be no problem for Qiu Wei to pass the examination for the second aunt this time!" Everyone also raised their glasses to join in the fun.

The wife's face was flushed: "Then I can borrow the good advice from my aunts!"

According to folk custom, you are not allowed to have dinner at your parents' house when you return home. Yulan ate the family banquet for more than an hour before finishing it. When the little maid came in to report that the previous banquet was also finished, Ye Yichen had been sent out of the house and was in the process of finishing it.
