This year, although she is more than twice as busy as in previous years, with several daughters-in-law sharing the burden, Mrs. Yan only focuses on a few important things, and it is not much harder than in previous years.

A month after Tang Jiarui got married, Mrs. Yan took her with her to take care of the house. Madam Zhao became so angry that she became ill and refused to recover.

Mrs. Yan just thought she was sick and didn't say a word to her.

When Qiu Wei released the results, Mrs. Yan called the eldest grandmother Zhao, the second grandmother Huang, and Li Wensong's daughter-in-law, the fourth grandmother Yao, to her room, dismissed the maid and the mother-in-law, and said one, two or three things succinctly.

The first thing is money, which is explained clearly.

When the mistress went to Taiyuan Prefecture, he took his share of the miscellaneous share. Now that he came back, although the expenses were paid by kilometers, the annual accounts of the mistress's Zhuangzi shop were also paid into the public account.

The account is sufficient for the daily expenses of the third bedroom. The detailed accounts are all there. Anyone who wants to see them can take them.

When the fifth brother got married, all the money was brought by the Xu family, and the bank accounts were all there. Anyone who wanted to look at them would have an open account.

The Xu family has already talked about the dowry for Sister Dong and Axia. The third wife has also said it several times. She has also made preparations for it. It is a rule of the public that no one will be asked for it. As for the sixth brother's marriage, the Xu family has also talked about it.

First, let’s follow Fifth Brother’s example.

Madam, after a hundred years, the old man split up his family, moved out the third bedroom, and bought his own house without a share of the family property.

The second thing is, this uncle's kindness and favor, which is just the small favor from the eldest master, the third bedroom will definitely not be used. In the future, it is hard to say who will favor whom. This is the relationship between you brothers and sisters-in-law.

She doesn't care about anything.

The third thing is that there are three branches in the small eldest house. The eldest brother will not mention it. The case of imperial examination fraud has wiped out his body, so he can only join the officialdom. At present, there is not even a crack in the door. Now that the second eldest son has won the imperial examination, the old man will be a hundred years from now.

, if the family is divided, whoever can support the small long house will be the one to support it.

After Mrs. Yan said this, she talked about the affairs of the housekeeper. She is the head of the family. The five daughters-in-law in the house all have to take care of their own affairs. However, if they have to be sick and do not care about everything,

It's okay, there are five daughters-in-law in this house, not just one.

After returning from Madam Yan's hospital, Aunt Zhao got really sick for a month or so. During the days when Li Dong decided to leave Ruan Shiqi, Aunt Zhao, who had lost a lot of weight, came out of the courtyard and said

After recovering from his illness, he received an errand from Mrs. Yan.

As for the second wife Li Wenlin's daughter-in-law, Grandma Shen, after Tang Jiarui married in, Mrs. Guo's evil fire and anger stayed in her heart for a moment, and even a big thing could not compare to the word "filial piety", so she kept Grandma Shen by her side.

Waiting on the patient, in order to express and vent his dissatisfaction with Mrs. Yan, which is deeper than the sea.

Mrs. Yan didn't even bother to raise her eyelids.

If her master were in the house, he would not be able to tolerate the loss of one of the five daughters-in-law in the house, nor would he tolerate the discord between brothers and sisters, let alone the second wife's unkindness, the second master's mischief, and Brother Lin.

It's useless, he doesn't allow his second wife to do anything that he thinks is wrong, but at this moment, her master is not in the house.

As for her, women don't have high expectations, as long as she doesn't cause trouble.

This year, Mrs. Yao is busy suppressing the old man and his little goblin in every possible way. Mrs. Li is busy protecting the little goblin to deal with Mrs. Yao’s suppression. Mrs. Guo is holding her son and daughter-in-law with one hand, and holding her husband with the other.

people protested behind closed doors.

Mrs. Yan directed her four daughters-in-law, and after a lively year, she felt that she was much more relaxed and comfortable than in previous years.

On the fifteenth day, Mrs. Yan arranged for Grandma Zhao and Grandma Yao to watch people pack things and take care of the housework. Second Grandma Huang and Grandma Tang Jiarui were busy taking care of the most important matter of their respective husbands' spring.

Mrs. Yan stared at every corner of the house, feeling more like she was facing a formidable enemy than she did in the autumn of last year. She was not allowed to say anything ominous. She, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Huo followed the rules spread in the capital and went to the city.

Burn incense, make wishes, and pray devoutly in major temples inside and outside the city.

On the day when the palace chamberlain came to convey the Queen Mother's decree and summoned Li Dong, Li Wennan and Li Xia to the palace to talk, Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Huo went to the Potai Temple in the city early in the morning to offer incense.

Grandma Yao Si was stunned for a moment after receiving the report, and hurriedly asked someone to invite Tang Jiarui. Tang Jiarui was also stunned, so she quickly asked someone to invite Mr. Guo, and she carried her skirt and went straight to Li Wenshan's study.

Guo Sheng got the letter almost at the same time as Grandma Yao Si. After being stunned, his first reaction was that something big had happened.

Li Xia received the little girl's report and hurriedly told her sister and Nan that after changing clothes, she just left the upper room. Li Wenshan rushed in, sweating on his forehead, "Axia! You got it.

?What happened? Well, I mean, nothing happened, right?"

"I think there should be nothing wrong." Li Xia looked at the fifth brother with a calm smile, "Last time at Daxiangguo Temple, the Queen Mother said that she would call my sister and me into the palace to talk to her in the future. This year has passed,

When the Queen Mother was free, she probably remembered that it's okay, fifth brother, don't worry, even if something happens, I think it's a good thing."

"I feel relieved when you say that." Li Wenshan let out a long sigh of relief and took a few breaths, "Your sister-in-law's face turned pale with fright. She went to Huifangyuan. I won't say anything anymore. You go quickly. Dong

Where are the sisters? And sister Nan...your sister-in-law must have forgotten to tell them! Alas..."

"I told them to tell them, let's talk about it when I come back. Fifth Brother, go read your book with peace of mind. Don't worry, it's okay." Li Xia patted Fifth Brother on the arm twice, took Duan Inkstone, and came out to meet him.

Li Dong, whose face was slightly pale, and Li Wennan, whose eyes were full of excitement, got in the car and went to the palace.

The car stopped outside Tianbo Gate. Li Xia, Li Dong, and Li Wennan got out of the car. Duan Yan and the other girls were stopped waiting outside the door. The three of them followed the young eunuch into Tianbo Gate and went to Xuanning Palace where the Queen Mother lived.

Li Xia looked around as he walked.

That time when she entered the palace, she followed a group of girls in the middle of the night. She came in through a small corner door that only allowed one person to pass through. It was as wide as one person, and the red walls on both sides were so high that she had to raise her head to the highest point to see the top.

She came in from the alley, because she looked up at the red wall that was so high that it reached the sky, and she even got a slap from her nanny.

A long time later, when she left the palace, she would always sit in a brilliant chariot, go out through Xuandemen, and then come in through Xuandemen. This was the first time she took this road.

Seeing the gate of Xuanning Palace from a distance, Li Xia's heart beat so fast that it almost burst out of her chest. For more than ten years, this place was her home in her heart.

Li Xia lowered her head and looked at her toes half a step forward. She followed the young chamberlain and entered the gate of Xuanning Palace. She walked in here again, many years earlier than before.

Queen Mother Jin was leaning on the kang casually. On the armchair in front of the kang, the eldest princess looked at Li Xia with a smile.

From Li Dong to Li Xia, they knelt in a row in front of the Kang and kowtowed in greeting. Empress Dowager Jin looked at the three of them one by one and said in a gentle voice, "Get up and bring a brocade stool to Sister Dong. You two, sit here."

, let me see."

Queen Mother Jin motioned for Li Xia and Li Wennan to sit on the edge of the Kang.

The waiter brought the brocade stool over, and Li Dong held his breath and sat on the brocade stool, quietly glancing at Li Xia and Li Wennan. She couldn't explain why, but she was a little worried. This summons did not seem to be for no reason.

Queen Mother Jin looked at Li Wennan first, and then looked at Li Xia.

Li Xia met Queen Mother Jin's gaze and wanted to laugh, but failed. A sudden surge of sourness and heat in her heart made her eyesight blurry.

"What's going on?" Queen Mother Jin asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, you are like my great grandmother..." Li Xia's throat was slightly choked, and when he said one sentence, the heat rushed over, and Li Xia lowered his head in embarrassment and timidity.

"This little girl is destined to be with you." The eldest princess smiled.

Queen Mother Jin took Li Xia's hand, saw it from her face, put it down, looked at the eldest princess and smiled: "When we were in Hangzhou, one time, Brother Yan came back with such a big beauty doll.

I was confused at the time, Brother Yan never liked things like that, but later I found out that he bought it for this girl. Do you still have the beautiful doll?"

Queen Mother Jin looked at Li Xia and asked for the last sentence.

Li Xia blinked repeatedly, which doll? She seemed not to remember...

"When did you first arrive in Hangzhou?" asked the eldest princess. Seeing Queen Mother Jin nodding, the eldest princess laughed, "How old is she? How can you remember? Come over here and let me have a look."

Li Xia glanced at Queen Mother Jin, stood up, and walked to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess took her hand and looked at her again and again from head to toe. "This girl is really getting cuter and cuter the more I look at her." The eldest princess said, stood up, sent Li Xia back to Queen Mother Jin and sat down again.

Sitting back, he looked at Queen Mother Jin and said with a smile: "This girl is good. Look at her face, hands and feet. She is a blessing. It makes people feel happy just looking at her. What a good child."

The more Li Dong listened, the more he raised his eyebrows. These words... this is a look at each other! Who are they going to give A-Xia to?

Li Wennan opened her eyes wide and looked from Queen Mother Jin to the eldest princess, and then to Li Xia. Following her gaze, her heart lifted up little by little. When she met Li Xia's shy face with a peaceful smile, she felt relieved again.

Come down, if Axia is not anxious, then it's okay.

Queen Mother Jin had a smile on her face, but not a lot of joy. Instead, she looked at Li Xia carefully and sighed, "At this age, my temper has not been developed yet. Now,

It looks pretty good..."

"You haven't developed that temperament since you were a child. Look at this child's eyes, how clear and translucent he is. He is a smart child at first sight. If he is smart, he will learn everything quickly. He will definitely be better in the future."

The eldest princess looked at Li Xia with great joy.

"Hmm." Queen Mother Jin hummed speciously, stared at Li Xia for a while, and slowly sighed, "This kid looks like a good kid."

After a pause, Queen Mother Jin said with a faint smile: "That's all for today, so that I can send them back."
