Chapter 202 Daily Trivial Matters

Chen Danxia considered herself a vulgar person and would never go to collect snow from plum blossoms in the cold winter. Although it can be seen that the tea made from snow water is clearer and sweeter than the tea made from well water, she was afraid of the cold and was not so interested. However, Yan Suxin was willing to make tea with snow water for her to drink, so she was still very happy to be elegant.

On the small red mud stove was a iron pot with hexagonal relief plum blossom patterns, which contained tea leaves and snow water. The little maid held a fan and fanned the fire there. Soon, the tea water was boiling. The little maid wrapped the iron pot with a handkerchief and poured the tea water into the purple sand-lifting pot with a ten thousand bat pattern.

Yan Suxin held the pot with her right hand and lifted the tea lid with her left hand, slowly pouring the tea into the cup. Her posture was graceful, "I borrowed the snow on the plum blossoms, and the tea is fragrant. Sister Chen, please."

"Good tea and good water, Danxia thanked her." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

The two of them chatted while drinking tea, and Chen Danxia sent out the incense he brought, "Sister Yan, this is made by myself, I hope you like it."

"Sister Chen can also make incense, it's amazing." Yan Suxin said with a smile.

"Sister Yan, don't laugh at me. This is nothing, it's just a time." Chen Danxia hung shyly. When he took his hand back, he accidentally turned over the teacup on the table, and half a cup of warm tea sprinkled on Chen Danxia's skirt. "Oh, look at me being clumsy, fortunately the cup is fine."

"Sister Chen, have you been burned?" Yan Suxin asked with concern.

"No, the tea is no longer hot, it's just wet the skirt." Chen Danxia stood up and wiped the water stains on his body with a handkerchief.

Yan Suxin saw that her skirt was wet and frowned and said, "If Sister Chen doesn't dislike me, please change my dress for you." The two of them were about the same height, fat and thin, and Chen Danxia could wear Yan Suxin's clothes.

With the goal of achieving it, Chen Danxia curled his lips and smiled slightly, "Then I'll trouble Sister Yan."

"No trouble." Yan Suxin led Chen Danxia to the bedroom, and bypassed the four redwood relief flower screens, she saw two vermilion-painted gold-flowered flower pattern wardrobes.

Yan Suxin is the legitimate girl from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, so she is not short of new clothes to wear. She is a polite and generous person. She ordered the maid to open the wardrobe on the left and smiled at Chen Danxia, ​​"Sister Chen, I have never worn the dress in this wardrobe."

"How can I wear my sister's new clothes? I want to change the clothes my sister has worn, otherwise I won't change them." Chen Danxia said, pulling his wet skirt.

"Don't be so polite." Yan Suxin stepped forward and picked a piece similar to the one worn by Shen Danxia, ​​a cherry-red embroidered silver chrysanthemum straight long coat. "Is this one good?"

Chen Danxia shook his head, his eyes flashed, and he said directly without turning around: "I remember my sister has a lilac embroidered pea flower coat. Can I change that one?"

"Which do you like?" Yan Suxin smiled and asked the maid to open the wardrobe on the right.

Chen Danxia saw the long lilac embroidered pea flower coat and smiled slightly. It seemed that she remembered correctly. Yan Suxin was really the girl her brother liked. Chen Danxia changed into a clean dress and returned to the tea room with Yan Suxin to continue to taste the tea.

Chen Danxia intentionally or unintentionally pointed the topic to the marriage, "My elder brother and my younger brother are twins. Now my elder brother's eldest son is about to be born. My younger brother has not yet married, so my mother is in a hurry to see him."

"My mother also said she wanted to have a good look at me, saying that her daughter's family would marry sooner or later. Instead of being randomly pointed at a marriage in the palace, she would do it in advance." Yan Suxin sighed lightly, with a lonely expression, "But I don't want to get married so early."

"Men are married when they are old, women are married when they are old. Your mother is right. Instead of being randomly pointed at a marriage, it is better to find someone who is in line with each other. Sister Yan, happiness is in her own hands. Don't hand it over to others easily and at the mercy of others." Chen Danxia was still scared of Jiang Shuiling's marriage. "Sister Yan, have you ever thought about what kind of person you will marry in the future?"

Chen Danxia explored Yan Suxin's preference for men and wanted to know if Shen Baiyu had a chance.

"What kind of person?" Yan Suxin bit the corner of her lower lip with shy expression on her face, "People who treat me well."

This answer is too general.

"Are you not picky about your appearance and family background?" Chen Danxia asked.

Yan Suxin smiled, "A person who can live with my mother's eyes will not have a bad appearance and his family background will not be bad."

Chen Danxia raised his eyebrows slightly, Yan Suxin had no one in his heart, so there was a lot of potential for this matter, as long as the young man could get into the eyes of Mrs. Yongning; Chen Danxia was quite confident in Shen Baiyu's appearance, and Chen Muke's official rank was not too low. As long as Shen Baiyu passed the imperial examination next year and had fame and fortune, his family background could barely match him.

After lunch at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, Chen Danxia said goodbye and went home. He first went to Zhiyuan to change his clothes, tidied up the lilac embroidered pea flower coat, and took it to see Shen Baiyu, "Brother, see if it's this clothes?"

Shen Baiyu's eyes were bright, "Yes, yes, this one is it, sister, where were you today?"

"Yongning Marquis Mansion." Chen Danxia looked at him and said.

Shen Baiyu's expression was slightly dark. The Yongning Marquis Mansion was deeply favored. Yan Suxin had a noble status and was enough to match the prince. He was just the second son of a third-rank official and had no fame. What should he use to marry her?

Chen Danxia told Shen Baiyu what she said to Yan Suxin, and asked carefully: "Brother, will you give up?"

Shen Baiyu pursed the corners of his lips, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sister, I don't want to give up."

"If you don't want to give up, then go and fight for it. Brother, you should know what to do, right?" Chen Danxia looked at him and asked seriously.

"I know what to do, but you have to help me convince her on my mother." Shen Baiyu had just been arrested by Tao and muttered for more than half an hour, and he was so angry that he was too big.

"Do you think about your little daughter-in-law?" Chen Danxia asked in surprise.

"She made an appointment with someone and went to Xiangguo Temple in a few days and asked me to go with her. My mother kept saying that the girl was good and she liked her very much." Shen Baiyu said distressedly.

"Do you know which company it is?" Chen Danxia asked.

Shen Baiyu thought for a while and said, "It seems that his surname is Shao."

"Shao?" Chen Danxia's eyes were slightly condensed, "Use Yu Shaoliao's 'Shao'?"

"It should be." Shen Baiyu was not sure.

"I'll go and ask." Chen Danxia stood up and said.

"Sister, you must help me." Shen Baiyu begged.

"Hasn't I been helping you all the time?" Chen Danxia glanced at him, raised his legs and walked out.

Chen Danxia went to Ruoshuiyuan to meet Tao. Tao had just gotten up from nap and was eating texel pigeon egg soup. "Jiu'er is back, go to treasure and scoop a bowl of soup for the girl."

Jinbao scooped a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Shen Danxia. After drinking the soup, Chen Danxia put the bowl down and leaned against Tao, "Mom, I heard from the young man that you are going to see your daughter-in-law?"

Tao laughed, "Yes, I made an appointment to go to Xiangguo Temple in a few days."

"Which girl is it? Do I know her?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile.

"You probably don't know the girl from the Shao family in Shanyin." Tao said with a smile.

Chen Danxia's eyes flashed, "Mom, what is her boudoir name?"

Tao thought for a while and said, "Zhiting, Shao Zhiting, Bai Zhi's Zhi, Tingting's Yuli Ting, does this name sound good?"

It's really her.

"Mom, do you know that the Shao family and the Jiang family are relatives?" Chen Danxia asked.

"Which Jiang family?" Tao asked frowned. Tao followed the memories of his previous life and deliberately did business with the Shao family. Then she took the opportunity to get to know the Shao family. She still wanted Shao to be her young daughter-in-law.

Chen Danxia licked his lips and said, "Jiang Shuiling's family, Shao Zhiting and Shuiling are two aunts and cousins."

"Have you seen her at the Jiang family?" Tao asked anxiously.

"I've seen it once or twice." Chen Danxia nodded. Even if the Shao family had nothing to do with the Jiang family, she had to make it impossible for her to succeed when Shen Baiyu was thinking about Yan Suxin.

Tao's face changed slightly, so this marriage cannot be settled.

Although Tao had given up marrying the Shao family, she did not cancel the matter of going to Xiangguo Temple a few days later. She wanted to meet Shao Zhiting, the kind-hearted girl who did not dislike Shen Baiyu's lameness and married to the Shen family. Even if she could not be a daughter-in-law, she would have to make a good relationship with her. When she got married, she would give her a generous gift and fully appreciate each other's affection.

On September 17, Tao went to Xiangguo Temple and did not take Shen Baiyu and Shen Danxia. On this day, a big scandal broke out in the Hejian County Prince's Mansion. Gao Mudan, the fifth girl of Cheng Prince's Mansion, and Gao Kangming, the second son of Hejian County Prince's Mansion, were caught in bed. Although the two had five robes, they were still cousins ​​of the same surname and clan.

Gao Kangming ruined Gao Mudan's innocence. If he was a cousin, the two had to get married for the sake of face, but they were cousins ​​and could not get married. Brother and sister are very good at this. If Gao Mudan was forced, the Hejian County Prince's Mansion would give her justice. If Gao Mudan was shameless and seduced her cousin Gao Kangming, then Prince Cheng's Mansion would also have to give her justice.

I don't know how the Cheng Mansion and the Hejian County Prince's Mansion discussed it. In the end, the two maids around Gao Kangming and Gao Mudan were charged. These two maids were cousins ​​and were assigned to work in two maids in the palace. Although Gao Mudan was born in a illegitimate family, the concubine who gave birth to her was very favored. Prince Cheng liked this maid who looked a bit similar to him. He had been seeking titles for her and was so domineering that she was more domineering than Princess Duanhe, who was born in a legitimate family, and either beat or scolded the maids who served her around him. It is said that the maid was holding a grudge and conspiring with her cousin, which led to this scandal.

This matter has nothing to do with the Shen family, so it would be fine if you have heard it as gossip. But I didn’t expect that two days later, the Shen family received an invitation from Prince Cheng’s Mansion to invite Tao, Shen Baiyu and Shen Danxia to attend the ceremony of Gao Mudan on September 26.

It is normal for my daughter to invite Tao and Shen Danxia to attend the ceremony, but it is not easy to invite Shen Baiyu, a man from outside. It is strange. Tao threw the invitation to the ground and stomped a few feet hard, "The Chengwang Mansion is really too bullying!"

"Mom, why bother to get angry? Just don't go." Chen Danxia stuffed the tangerine into his mouth.

Tao stared at the invitation, his eyes flashed cold. This matter would not be forgotten. Prince Cheng’s mansion dared to plot against her son, and he had to pay the price. After Chen Danxia finished eating the plate of tangerines and returned to Zhiyuan, Tao ordered people to call Shen Bomi over and said, "The emperor should know about King Cheng's indulgence in his love, favoring his concubine and destroying his wife, and not cultivating personal virtues."

Shen Bo bowed secretly and said, "Mother said yes."

Only one day later, a lot of complaints of impeachment of King Cheng emerged; it was already the third royal prince who had an accident, and the emperor was numb, and he didn't even go to investigate, so he directly asked for the crime. Prince Cheng was demoted to Prince Cheng, his fortune was deprived of his land, and his salary was fined for three years...

After such a riot, Gao Mudan and the banquet were not completed. It was not the prince, the cost and number of people served in the mansion would be reduced, and some yards in the royal palace had to be locked up. Princess Cheng was busy dealing with these matters, and there was even more reason to ignore Gao Mudan's affairs.

At the end of September, Chen Danxia received the first letter from Cheng Jue, which read what he saw and heard on the road. It was also estimated that when she received the letter, he should have arrived in Zhushan City. He also agreed with her to write a letter every five days. At the end of the letter, he was covered with his idle seal and returned.

Chen Danxia wrote a reply to him. Although it was a trivial matter at home, he also wrote three pages of paper and stamped the letter he carved for her at the end of the letter.

On the first day of October, Tao still took his five daughters to the old house to greet Chen's mother. Since Wei Mudan wanted to harm Yuan Qingyin, Tao has refused to let Yuan Qingyin go. In the east room of Xuanziyuan, Chen Danxia saw Liu Baozhen's mother Tu and her sister Liu Baozhu.

Tu was talking to Shen’s mother with joy on her face. Liu Baozhu was wearing a brand new silver-red embroidered golden chrysanthemum collar and a cotton-padded jacket, and a bun with a bun with a few short flower hairpins and a phoenix tail hairpins on her bun.

"How could my cousin's wife be willing to come here today?" Tao asked with a smile.

"I'm here to congratulate my aunt. My eldest girl is pregnant." Tu said with a smile.

"Congratulations." Dow said politely.

This is indeed worth congratulations. Prince Anping Gao Jing has been married for four or five years, and he is still weak. If Liu Baozhen can successfully give birth to a man and half a woman for him, and his mother is noble by her son, Liu Baozhen's status in the royal palace will inevitably rise, and it is not impossible to even seek a concubine.

Tu came today not only to announce the good news, but she also came to show off. Liu Baozhu proudly told the Chen Danxia sister that she would go to the royal palace to visit Liu Baozhen in a few days, and said that she could take the Chen Danxia sisters with her.

Chen Danwei smiled faintly and said, "So many of us have been there, which may disturb Mrs. Liu's rest. Cousin Zhu went to visit Mrs. Liu alone, and talked more about her own things to Mrs. Liu, and asked us for a question."

The others followed and asked Liu Baozhu to say hello to him, but they stopped going. Liu Baozhu repeatedly invited him, and everyone refused to let go. Seeing that everyone insisted on not going, Liu Baozhu had to give up.

Chen Danxia returned home from the old house and took a nap in the afternoon. Mo Shi came in and whispered in her ear: "Girl, Mr. Xu has written."

Chen Danxia was surprised and happy, so surprised that Xu Lang suddenly wrote a letter back? He was so happy that this person finally got enlightened and knew that he had written to her. He took the letter from Mo Si and signaled her to leave and fold the letter.

This letter disappointed Chen Danxia. He wrote six words on a piece of paper. On the sixth day of the 10th month, he returned to Beijing. The last stroke of the character "Beijing" was so powerful that it penetrated the back of the paper. I don't know what he used to do with such great strength?
