The weather was wet and cold in winter, so Yutong put several fire pots in his room to feel a little warmer.
She asked the girls to come into the inner room to warm themselves by the fire.
Xia Jue had just come back from outside.
She was born into a family in the Hou Mansion and the daughter of Zhang Zhao's brother.
Their family had a prosperous relationship in the Hou Mansion.
Today, people who came from Yizhou to the Marquis Mansion in Beijing to give New Year's gifts came back.
This time, the people giving New Year's gifts were Xia Ju's parents, so Yutong asked her to meet her parents and get some news by the way.
"Girl, this slave is back."
"Oh, you're back.
It's very cold outside.
There's milk on the table.
Drink some to keep the cold away."
Yutong said to her with a smile.
Xia Jue didn't refuse.
She thanked Yutong first, sat down and drank a large bowl, and then told Yutong about the situation in the Hou Mansion, "Speaking of which, there is a happy event in the house.
My parents are going back to send New Year's greetings."
During the ceremony, the Crown Prince's wife happened to be pregnant and gave birth to a fat boy weighing six pounds and six taels, and was rewarded with a reward. " The prince's wife, Xiao Zhu, is the grand-niece of the old lady Zhu.
Although the Zhu family is not as prosperous as it was in the past, the family still has a title, and Mrs.
Hou will not object to the old lady's decision.
Without thinking, Yutong said: "This is a good thing."
Xia Jue smiled a little playfully.
Zi Yuan knew that she had something to hide, so she urged her: "But what's wrong?"
Huang Ying also said anxiously: "Sister is still showing off in front of the girl."
"It's nothing.
It's just the crown prince's sister who came to take care of her.
Unexpectedly, she was bumped into talking to the crown prince in the garden.
Those words reached the ears of the prince's wife.
Didn't she give birth so quickly?"
My cousin works as a maid in the Changfang Tea House and is very well-informed.
Yutong raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, she often heard Mr.
Qu talk about the prince as a decent and promising young man, and even if he had his thoughts, he would not be so impatient.
It is very likely that the girl from the Zhu family did this on purpose.
But what is the benefit of her doing this?
Could it be that she is trying to steal her brother-in-law?
But her sister is already the crown prince’s wife, does she still want to be a minor?
Just hearing this is enough to make Yutong feel that the Hou Mansion is too troublesome.
Fortunately, their family is from a concubine, and they will definitely be separated in the future.
Fewer people means fewer things to do.
Yutong is not a person who likes to worry.
Xia Jue could only inquire about some gossip, while Zhang Zhao and Qu were concerned about the attitude of the Hou family.
He and Magistrate Leng were too competitive, so they wrote a letter to family members asking about Prince Kang's attitude towards the Leng family. .
The person who wrote the letter was Yutong's fourth uncle Zhang Xie.
He was born in Tanhua, and now works in the Hanlin Academy.
He is considered the most promising among the officials of the Zhang family.
Zhang Zhao glanced at ten lines and quickly read the letter.

He threw the letter aside casually: "The fourth child is still the same as before, and the most important thing is his father-in-law's ideas."
Speaking of which, Zhang Zhao was still a little disdainful of this fourth brother.
Originally, these two were the only ones studying in the family.
Both of them had good grades and were considered the most eloquent people in the family.
At that time, the relationship between the two was still very good.
Later, when Zhang Xie's wife Ping Wang from Xibo Mansion entered the house, Zhang Zhao also advised Qu to get along well with Wang because the relationship between Wang and her sisters-in-law was not good.
Unexpectedly, Mrs.
Wang was an ill-informed person, and later Mrs.
Qu discovered a scandal about her.
On the contrary, the relationship between Mr.
Qu and Mr.
Wang became even worse.
Zhang Zhao did not have a quarrel with his brothers because of the relationship between women, but Zhang Xie did not.
Judging from his reply, it was obvious that Zhang Zhao was asking Zhang Zhao to bear the cold shoulder of the magistrate.
He also said that King Kang was now highly regarded by the emperor, and was also the superior of his father-in-law, Ping Xibo.
Zhang Zhao, don't be impulsive.
But Zhang Zhao also inquired with his elder brother, Lord Marquis, and wrote to his brother-in-law, Qu Guogong.
Both of them said that because King Kang was reprimanded at the Queen Mother's funeral, he was demoted from the royal title and was called King of Kang County.
In addition, Prince Kang has now gone to Zhezi to establish the son of Prince Prince as his heir apparent, while Leng's son is just a side branch of the clan.
"I have already written to the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi about recruiting bandits.
I'm afraid we will be transferred soon."
Mr.
Qu also sighed: "My fourth uncle is quite a good person.
That's Mr.
Wang.
Fortunately, she is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family.
I really thought that she would be invincible if she were the legitimate daughter."
Even the Marquis has a brotherly affection for his husband.
The fourth brother, who is not yet a highly respected minister, is afraid that his brother will block his way.
Zhang Zhao sneered lightly: "She and the fourth child are childhood sweethearts.
The fourth child is better off without him.
With her, it's like a different person.
As you know, her mother is a stepmother, or the concubine of the original wife.
In fact, Wei Wei used to be a stepmother.
Prince Yuanhou is here At that time, how could the Wang family be so frivolous?"
Unfortunately, Prince Pingxi got sick at a young age and passed away before he was seventeen years old.
He did not have a son or a daughter left behind, so he let Wang's biological brother inherit.
Got the title.
Because of this, Wang's parents and brothers were cruel in protecting their children.
Although Wang seemed innocent, she had no sense of right and wrong.
Otherwise, Qu and Zhang Zhao would not have been forced to go to a place like Yunnan.
Zhang Zhao then remembered that his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Mao, was said to be in poor health this year.
He was very worried and hated himself for not living up to expectations: "If I were in Beijing, why would I let my aunt suffer like that?"
Auntie Mao was the concubine brought back by the old Marquis from Zhuangzi.

She was not from a high background, but she was very lucky, but she got pregnant in one night.
She has the most honest personality and stutters a bit when speaking, but she is really nice to Zhang Zhao.
When Zhang Zhao made a mistake as a child and was grounded, she got roasted sweet potatoes from nowhere and gave them to little Zhang Zhao.
He is also very grateful to his aunt Zhang Zhao.
After all, when he was studying, his aunt approved and sent him to the academy.
For this reason, he had to honor his aunt.
I only feel sorry for my biological aunt.
Aunt Mao is not a smart person.
She is honest and honest, so she is not favored.
She has no dignity in front of the old marquis.
Now that she is so ill, I don’t know if she can do it.
Get through it.
Obviously, Mrs.
Qu also had a good impression of Mrs.
Mao.
On the first day when she faced Mrs.
Qu, she gave her all the money she had accumulated over the years and the rewards from the Marquis.
Although in Mrs.
Qu's opinion, it was not much, she could Auntie Mao cared for her too much.
For such a generous elder, Mrs.
Qu didn't want anything to happen to her.
"I tell you, we must find a good position here.
In the future, we will separate our homes so that my aunt can live with us."
It is not that there is no such precedent.
The son of a concubine once separated and took his aunt out, and the old lady There are three legitimate sons, and there is no shortage of filial piety from sons.
After some discussion, the two sent Zi Yuan's uncle, who was also Zhang Zhao's long-term attendant, to go back and look after Aunt Mao for them.
As autumn turned to spring, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi made great achievements in recruiting bandits to Yizhou as the governor, and the taxes collected on salt and iron were higher than before.
Therefore, Zhang Zhao was appointed as the governor of Hangzhou and took office that day.
She didn't even have time to say goodbye to Tang Yan, so Yutong asked her servants to pack their luggage.
The whole family, except Aunt Mao, went happily.
Even Yujia said to Yutong privately: "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful.
The sunrise and the flowers on the river are as red as the fire.
I hope to go there as soon as possible."
After a year of work, Yutong and Yujia both grew a little taller, and the people on the needlework made corresponding clothes for them.
There were a lot of things that couldn't be taken away, so they had to be kept and sold.
This was the reason why the Qu family was unwilling to move often.
Fortunately, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi was from the prince's family and didn't really buy into King Kang's account, so they could successfully find a job.
The fourth-grade post of Hangzhou magistrate.
Mrs.
Qu thought again, the prince is indeed the prince, so wise and selfless.
Of course the people of the Leng family hated Zhang Zhao.
Magistrate Leng sneered and said: "What?
It's just that if you accomplish one or two things, you can report it as some kind of achievement.
When I write to Queen Kang in a few days, Let’s see how Zhang Zhao blocks it.”
Logically speaking, the Leng family are not considered relatives, so it is understandable that Zhang Zhao is not afraid of them.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao's niece is still the third prince's concubine, and his brother is still a marquis.
Compared with the Leng family, he is from a noble family, and he I am a capable minister.
Putting all this aside, the Zhang family was about to set off.
Mrs.
Lin Er and Yu Rou came to see them off and prepared a very generous ceremony.
Aunt Mao was very reluctant to let go of her daughter, but she couldn't make the decision.
She couldn't let Zhang Zhao stay here for her daughter, and Zhang Zhao wouldn't listen to her.
The life on the ship was very boring.
Yujia was not in good health, so Aunt Xia stayed with her all day long.
Aunt Mao was in a bad mood because she was separated from Yurou, so Yutong felt particularly peaceful when she came to pay homage to the Qu family.
"Hey, Mom, there are fried dried fish here.
Fortunately, they didn't come today, so this good thing was given to me."
Dried fish is a selection of small whitebait, all about the same size.
They are marinated with seasonings and then fried in a pan.
It is difficult to control the heat.
If it is too high, it will be burnt.
If it is too low, it will be cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside.
In the end, it will fry slowly over medium heat, so you have to concentrate on it.
Mrs.
Qu felt happy when she saw her eating happily, and said: "Your brother and your father are writing poems on the boat, so don't go out."
"Okay."
Yutong was not a particularly curious person, so she obediently accompanied Qu to eat.
There were many servants and officers and soldiers outside.
If someone looked at them, they might be told what they would look like in the future.
Mrs.
Qu gave her a few more chopsticks of green vegetables: "You should also eat more green leafy vegetables.
It's not as good as at home on the boat, so you have to take yourself seriously."
Aunt Zhu observed Yutong from the side and felt that she knew the rules a lot.
After breakfast, Yutong sent someone to give Yujia a bowl of sour plum juice.
Yujia sent someone back a plate of jujube mud cakes, saying that she would come and play with Yutong when she felt better.
Mother Wang is Yutong's wet nurse, and she is the most intimate with Yutong.
If Yutong doesn't say anything to Mrs.
Qu, she might say it to Mother Wang.
Mother Wang also treated Yutong as a child, and specially brought three fruits to Yutong: "Sister Tong, take advantage of the break to have something to eat.
I went to see Grandma Zhu.
She has already rested and will not come again." " "Well, that's good.
Mom will eat it too."
Yutong held up the fruit for Wang's mother to eat.
Mother Wang took it over happily and lowered her voice to Yutong: "I have done what the girl said.
I sent a pair of jade screens to the Tang family.
The girl from the Tang family also gave me a pair of colorful bat hairpins."
I’ll bring it back.”gd1806102:
