When Xiaocao and the others arrived at the Imperial City, it was already late October. It was hot when they went out, but now it has turned cold.

There will be a celebration banquet in the palace tomorrow. Emperor Xuanren allowed Xiaocao to go home and rest first, and it will not be too late to enter the palace tomorrow. As a lady, with this kind of treatment, other people, including Fan Wuguo, can't do it.

The palace sage went to report on his duties.

As for those officials who came back from Dongqing, they should go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to register first, and the rest should wait. If they are not thrown into prison directly, they should thank the emperor for his kindness.

Wenren's house was brought and picked up by Wenren Taibo himself.

Everyone else dispersed as they should, but the hundreds of black-armored guards stayed put, which put Xiaocao in a bit of a dilemma.

At this time, another group of people who were more conspicuous but who had been serving as backdrops from the beginning came forward. The leaders were a man and a woman. They were middle-aged, well-dressed and well-behaved. Just stand still and that's it.

Dali, "I have met His Highness."

Xiaocao hurriedly called out, not knowing who they were, and glanced at Wenren Taibo. Wenren Taibo hesitated for a moment, then felt a little helpless, and gave Xiaocao, "Just wait."

eyes.

The other party has already announced his family name, and the family name is "Princess Anguo's Mansion". The man is the chief historian of Princess Anguo's Mansion, and the woman is the aunt in charge of the inner house of Princess Anguo's Mansion. I came here today, on the one hand, to formally meet the master.

On the one hand, of course, I came here to "solve my troubles" for my master. I heard that it is impossible to arrange hundreds of guards, but the princess's palace can, which is fine.

When Wenren Taibo rejected the Princess Mansion for Xiaocao, this time, Emperor Xuanren started making preparations without asking for anyone's opinion. Moreover, considering the Wenren family, the Anguo Princess Mansion was relatively close to the Wenren family's residence.

, which is quite far away from the original place where the Princess’s Palace and the Prince’s Palace were concentrated.

Not to mention whether you can refuse, it is indeed the most suitable place for the black-armored guards to be placed there. We will discuss the rest when we meet the father tomorrow.

A few guards were left behind and went back to Wenren's house with Xiaocao, while the others went to the princess's house.

Wenren's family is also very lively today. In addition to the whole family, the married people have also returned with their husbands and children, including Wen Renxiang and Zhang Junliang. Xiaocao has returned with great achievements, which belongs to the Wenren family.

Glory, no matter what the relationship between Wen Renxiang and her natal family is, as long as she still bears the Wen Ren family name, she will be inextricably linked to the Wen Ren family. Xiao Cao's current status is becoming more and more extraordinary, with the addition of a

Wenren Taibo, who was acting as the Minister of Rites, did not dare to neglect Zhang Chengen, who had a queen mother. On the contrary, he might have been extremely unhappy with Wenrenxiang in the past, but now he is somewhat happy.

Although Zhang Chengen's palace is glorious now, how long can the Queen Mother live now that she is old? After her death, Zhang Chengen's palace will have no next father-in-law. Now the person with real power in the Zhang family is the Minister of Dali Temple.

If you don't want to be transferred to another place, there is probably no room for advancement. If you can catch up with Wen Ren, it will naturally have only advantages and no disadvantages in the future.

Therefore, the couple returned to Wen's house today and brought generous gifts.

When Wen Renxiang first got married, she was really tormented in all kinds of ways. Her mother-in-law tried to bully her, and Zhang Junliang even attacked her. Everyone in the Zhang family ridiculed her, and the servants didn't take her seriously.

, she really couldn't live anymore, but she didn't have the courage to die, especially knowing that the Zhang family actually wanted her to die early to make room for her position. The more this happened, the more she gritted her teeth and endured until Xiaocao became a princess.

Soaring into the sky with Wen Renjia.

Compared with the initial situation, a lot has changed. At least those humiliating, ugly, and angry things are gone. Until this time, her mother-in-law had been kind to her, and the previous generation had condescended to recognize her.

With her as my granddaughter-in-law, the aunts in other houses became kinder, and others were willing to get close to her, and even had a tendency to fawn over her.

Wen Renxiang truly realized how important the strength of her mother's family was to a married woman, and there was no need to describe the various regrets in her heart.

Today, the Zhang family prepared a generous gift. Before leaving, her mother-in-law, both soft and hard, told her to repair her relationship with her parents. Wen Renxiang has never been a tough-minded person who will walk all the way to death, but

In just over a year, reality taught her too many things. After repeated "beatings", she had already learned well.

In the past, if he had gained power, he would probably still take Qiao, but now he won't, now that he knows what is best for him.

However, she also knows very well that the relationship between her and her mother-in-law is really bad. Whatever she does now, she will probably not be popular. If she does too much, she will be even more disgusted. Therefore, it is best to be quiet and be good.

Take it appropriately, don't rush, take your time, it will take a long time anyway.

I told Zhang Junliang on the way here that he could do a little more. After all, he was just Wen's son-in-law, and he didn't have any bad relations with Wen. No matter what, he had to save some face for him, be restrained, and don't make big mistakes.

The young master's temper is never too bad.

Zhang Junliang is a playboy who eats, drinks and has fun, but he doesn't know anything. "Take care of yourself. How can a woman who can mess up the relationship with her whole family have the nerve to teach others what to do?"

In fact, Zhang Junliang's relationship with everyone in Wenren's family is indeed better than that of Wenrenxiang. After Xiaocao became a princess, they would basically come over if anything happened to Wenren's family. Zhang Junliang was indeed more successful than her.

Well, apart from Wen Renyang, Wen Ren's brothers and several brothers-in-law are not bad, not to mention how close they are. They are very busy, but if they occasionally ask for a small thing, they will definitely help. However, Wen Renxiang didn't do it before.

She just asked, now she is afraid that Zhang Junliang will mess it up.

After entering the house in a lively manner, Xiaocao went back to wash up first, then came out and hugged Wen Rentan's son. This little guy was raised well. It can be said that Lu Deyuan's body has not fully recovered yet.

At that time, Wen Renyan was preparing for pregnancy according to the contents in the gynecological manual. After she became pregnant, she followed the instructions meticulously. It can be said that she regarded the book as an imperial edict. The child was indeed well raised in her mother's womb, and after birth she was

Get out the parenting manual immediately.

So this little guy was raised to be solid, he laughs whenever he is teased, and he is very lovable.

Now, Xiaocao also said that the child was raised well, and Wen Renyan was extremely happy.

In addition, Wen Renyang's little daughter has also been born, and she is not yet pregnant. Since she already has two grandchildren, and her daughter is so good now, she naturally doesn't think there is anything wrong with girls.

So I also like my little granddaughter very much.

Originally, Meng Xinlan was a little unhappy because she had not been able to give birth to a son. However, seeing that her mother-in-law liked her, her husband even felt that his daughter was better. He no longer had any thoughts in his heart and was very happy. Now he is being taken care of carefully.

Then there is Wenrenxi, who was originally two or three months older than Wenrenying. Now the child is about to be born. In Xiaocao's opinion, it is indeed a bit early, but Wenrenxi is still in the same state.

good.

However, seeing that she has now entered her due date and may give birth at any time, I really don't agree with her return.

Wen Renxi smiled and held Xiaocao's arm, "It's been a few months since I last saw Fourth Sister. I miss you."

Wen Renying acted coquettishly towards her, but she couldn't help it. Wen Renxi's same tricks worked just as well, so she told her to be careful. Du Shi next to her smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xuan, I'm watching her."

The whole family was in harmony, so naturally there was no trouble.

However, Xiaocao accidentally noticed that the fifth aunt Yan seemed to have something on her mind, and held her arm intentionally or unintentionally, and secretly took her pulse. Sure enough, she noticed that she was depressed, but she didn't know if it was something suitable for her to ask, so she held back for the time being.

.

Later, everyone dispersed, and at night, Xiaocao took the time to ask Han.

Mr. Han sighed, "Your fifth uncle, that shameless one, made an appointment for Jiu Yatou at the wine table behind the family's back. All the tokens were exchanged. A few days ago, she came to our door to formally propose marriage. Only then did we know that if it was a

Forget it if it's good, but they are your fifth uncle's bad friends. Of course we don't follow them. For the sake of this reputation, we are ready to get married privately. However, according to our family's current family status, this person caught,

Is there any reason to let go easily?

Although Jiu Yatou is a concubine, the relationship with your fifth uncle has not been good since your fifth aunt married in. It took many years for the child to be born. Jiu Yatou has always been devoted to Jiu Yatou and treated her as her own. Later, her own child was born.

She has never treated her poorly. She has raised her single-handedly, but your fifth uncle has agreed to marry her so casually. Your fifth uncle is also determined to agree on this marriage. How can she not be angry?

The matter is still related to your grandmother, but your fifth uncle directly said that "the parents ordered the matchmaker", why can't he, the father, decide on his daughter's marriage? I don't know if you have anything to do with your fifth uncle and your fifth aunt.

Have you heard? The girl that your fifth uncle liked at the beginning was broken up by your grandfather, and he married your fifth aunt on the 'order of his parents'. From then on, it became like that, so in this matter, you

Grandma couldn't do anything to him either.

The rest of us have nothing to say.

Your fifth aunt is always a good-natured person. She knows that your fifth uncle doesn't like her, so she never makes any noise and lives her own life. But this time the quarrel became fierce. It was only after you came back that it stopped.

"

The ninth girl in the fifth room was only thirteen years old. As it was clearly stated that one could only get married at the age of sixteen, it was indeed too early to propose marriage at this time. Moreover, at the dinner table, it was inevitable for Pain to suspect that the other party had deliberately set her off.

set.

Regarding the grievances between the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt, Xiaocao naturally heard some things from Wen Renying, that is, they were grudges that were forced to get together. Fortunately, the fifth aunt could see clearly, otherwise, I don't know what the result would be.

However, now that the matter has come to this, the main thing is to find a way to solve the problem. Just making noise at home doesn't make much sense.

"Mom, I think that even if the fifth uncle is not cool, he is still good to the two children. Is there any misunderstanding in this? Or, have you ever found out about the engagement partner of the ninth sister first? Maybe this person is actually

Is it good? Can some people deny it completely because of their family?"

Han nodded thoughtfully, "Xuan'er, what you said is right."

"If the betrothal partner is good, there is no need to start a dispute with Uncle Wu. After all, at Sister Ninth's age, it will take three years to get engaged now. In three years, our family can completely follow its own standards.

If you adopt a son-in-law, the good things will be more prominent, and the bad things will be smoothed out by him, so it's not something you can't do. I guess the man's family has no reason to object."

Han looked at Xiaocao with a bit of disbelief in her eyes...

"Mom, what's wrong? Is it impossible?"

"Yes, of course, there's nothing that's not allowed." That's right, there's nothing that's not allowed. It's even a bit regretful now. Wei Tingyu has already made up his mind, and there's not much room for polish, otherwise...

Xiaocao didn't notice anything was wrong at all, "If this person is not good, then we don't have to be polite. Things like reputation are important. It is indeed important, but it also depends on the situation. Even if this matter means that we regret the marriage,

The influence won't be that big, let alone worry about me. I don't rely on reputation to establish myself now."
